13-16 trillion in reserves, only 1.1 trillion pumped so far! Good times ahead, crank up that Hummer. |

Honestly PO is a non-issue. I'd worry more the oceans:
* acidification
* dead zones
* fish extinction
That to me honestly is more worrying that the bogeyman of Peak Oil. |

I wonder if there's a site called climate peak. You might wanta try them out if they exist. Many of us come on here because we are convinced that a wasteful lifestyle is bound to peak the resources in nature's larder and we have believe that the globalisation of capitalism will bring the peak of oil on soon.
In the unlikely event that space technology is developed to the degree that we can sustainably leave earth's limits for inter-stellar mining and expansion generally, and the current state of technology is nowhere near that point I suggest, I will be the first to abandon my concerns about peaking resources and the limits of capitalism on earth.

13-16 trillion that we know of. There is likely much more under there.
The problem is getting 87 million barrels/day to the refineries.
China and India ate up whatever spare capacity there was and now we are peddling as fast as we can just to stand still. Actually I think we are sliding a bit on the supply side now.
I don't worry too much about PO. I wonder sometimes if I actually want to survive the coming famines and droughts or if it would be better to leave it all behind. |

| Hummmmm…so the CEO of the world’s largest oil company doesn’t believe in Peak Oil. Why do I really not find that surprising? |

| "Peak Oil" is a problem of peak infrastructure for extraction/refining. We only have about 87 mpbd capacity in the system. We could easily expand that up to 110mpd if we wanted to. It's those tree hugger librulz who don't let us. |

I didn't know the treehuggers had such a global stranglehold on the energy industry. Well at least your not blaming the evil speculators. |

You make spending trillions on infrastructure sound like something you could pick up on the way to the grocery store.
Seriously, get a clue.

Just like there is no problem with the supply of clean water; look at all the water in the oceans we can pump inland!! (say, why aren't they doing that??)
The people who try to provide soothing pallatives about endless oil are either propagandists for the oil industry, or those who have watched a talking cornucopian head during a halftime show without bothering to find out the facts for themselves.

That hummer better come with nifty CO2 scrubbers and gas masks. At about 1,000 pounds of CO2 per barrel, that's 13-16 quadrillion pounds of CO2 in the atmosphere. Wonderful! We found a solution for PO. How care about GW. |
