Hoarding is exactly what the government is doing right now by filling the SPR, and frankly it's the best thing that could happen. It drives prices up. High prices encourage demand destruction. They also finance new well development. The hoarded oil gives us a buffer to fall back on once shortages become more prevalent. High prices are what we need in order to adapt to what's coming, and the sooner they happen, the better.

I don't think this is demand destruction keeping oil at bay. I think this is what price oil SHOULD be and the 140's we saw were equivalent to gold in the 1000+'s. Like gold, it dropped down to a more ...

The issue of peak oil is not the reserves, as there is plenty of oil on this planet, but rather the EROEI of extracting it. So no, it really won't effect it any more than the other trillions of barrel ...

God would not punish us for disobedience. It is why he gave us free will; so we could choose for ourselves to follow the right path: the path to God.

Or maybe it's another contradiction...

do you realize the energy and resources required to build solar panels? Don't forget they only last 15-20 years, and batteries even less. Good luck with that one; energy has a tendency to flow from hi ...

I think it's best to keep in mind that conventional giant wells give at even a most conservative estimate somewhere around 20: 1 EROEI while these giant wells give at a most liberal estimate somewhere ...

That said absolutely nothing about the trillions of barrels of oil in unconventional sources. The peak oilers there seem to act as if it doesn't even exist.

In any other "sustainable" system, this is measured by adding all the inputs and losses to inefficiency, heat, etc.

With oil, we ...

Why worry about adding capacity "easily"? We'll be producing millions of barrels a day decades from now, transition hardly requires replacement of crude TODAY.
