I think peak oil could do a lot to help us out actually. As the oil supply dwindles it becomes less and less fun to go out in a monster truck and make a mess. All the people wave with just one finger as they go passing by. Maybe some of the people still flying around might chill on that a bit. We might just end up using less oil overall. That's got to be good for the climate.

You might not have noticed noobtube, in your rush to claim any event as the rapture event you've been wet dreaming over for a decade now, but JIT problems aren't peak oil, nor are they lack of goods. They are lack of JIT delivery. Because of the pandemic, and resulting expectations of expected demand post vaccine gone wrong, these expectations then flowing out in the form of unexpectedly fast demand recovery through the supply chain.
Please don't valid the opinion that peak oilers, who didn't know much at all about resource economics 15 years ago (or geology, or petroleum engineering, or economics at large), also don't know anything about the consequences of JIT delivery and global pandemics, how bout that? Isn't 31 years of egg on face enough already?

To you it's just a temporary blip. You have a first-world mentality. I get it. Your belly is full so why worry about tomorrow? But, that world doesn't really exist, unless you have people to sacrifice. And, those people are disappearing fast.

Fast forward to 2021, shortages everywhere. But, I am more than set for years. In fact, now I can help others who I DECIDE are worth it. No way am I subsidizing morons who think they know-it-all and don't listen and don't cooperate.

AdamB wrote:So..you predicted the current JIT problems? Good for you. All I did was take advantage of ammo prices dropping once the early and mid pandemic calmed down. Turns out, JIT delivery are JIT delivery issues. Not energy problems.
AdamB wrote:I enjoy benefits of not being a Third World citizen, true. As do most on this board I imagine. Sounds to me like you've got a beef with what First Worlders have managed to do, compared to, for example, the non-OECD crew. If it bothers you so much, might I recommend an immigration plan of some sort?
AdamB wrote:noobtube wrote:Peak Oil can't afford people like you.
In what way? Those of us who knew it was a crock spanning the prior 15 years at least haven't discredited ourselves, should we decide that it finally has. The gang repeating the dogma aren't going to be the ones who see it coming when it finally arrives, that gang see's it every Sunday morning, just as they are told by the Priests of Peak. It is what acolytes are supposed to do...blind obedience. Peak oil needs those of us who can think for ourselves.

Yep. The prisoners, the Chinese, the Venezuelans, the Africans, in fact, the rural 'MURICANS have all been sacrificed to fill your belly.

So you anticipated oil production would go up after Peak Oil occurred?
I must say....you have a very flexible definition of peak oil if it doesn't depend on how much oil is being produced.
Because right now oil production looks set to go up steadily over the next decade.....at least according to what world governments are saying.
BBC: Fossil fuel production set to soar over next decade
Cheers!
