Random people will need to see that link and they might be turned off by the complexity of the site before they click it.

New To Peak Oil? Click here

or such would help them.

You want the message to spread? Cater to newbies in a dumbed-down way. It doesn't have to be but a link on the main page that's hard to miss.

Newbies are that clueless usually.

I dont like the definition:

"The midpoint of global
hydrocarbon production "

To me, "Hydrocarbon production" includes tar sands and oil shales. The midpoint of these may be decades in the future.

"Peak oil" should be defined as the midpoint of (cheap) conventional oil which will occur in the near future (or perhaps the recent past).

Is peak oil the midpoint of global oil production? I thought it was the moment of greatest global oil production, which might or might not coincide with the midpoint. That is, PO could occur when only 49% of the URR has been produced. Or it could be delayed till 51 or 52% of the URR has been produced.

Correct

Hydrocarbons also include clathrates NG etc...

So everyone agrees that "peak oil" refers to the peak of conventional oil production, not "hydrocarbon production"?

Why don't we say that on the main page?

Also, why do we still have the typo "reservers" on the news page.

Thanks to whoever finally fixed this embarrassing typo after all these years.

The typo is not fixed yet.

A site with the name PeakOil has the definition wrong on the home page?

Other uninformed people pick this up and continue to spread the mis-information.

I meant that the "reservers" typo is fixed.

The "Hydrocarbon production" misinformation may take a few more years to fix. Maybe peak-oil will have happened by then, so no-one will care.
