No, peak oil isn't a theory but a fact.
the debate is only about the timing of the peak.
all finite things will have peak extraction rates....I mean think about it.
Now even with the larger finds in Brazil......this won't do sqwat.....do the numbers....and if you don't believe me.
read about it from cal tech professor David Goldstein who is a physicist there.
He posed if we found another Ghawar oil field (the largest in the world, much much larger than brazils find (about 10X larger)) it would simply offset the peak by 1-2 yrs. granted brazil will take about 10 yrs to start pumping from the new field.....so good luck to all...and hopefully you invest in oil.
"But as Goldstein points out: "Let us suppose for one euphoric moment that one more really big one is still out there to be discovered. Even if we were to stumble onto another 90-billion barrels field tomorrow (the equivalent of another Ghawar field) Hubbert's Peak would be delayed by a year or two, well within the uncertainty of the present estimates of when it will occur. It would hardly make any difference at all." "

A lot of talk about the earth production of oil.
http://blogs.motortrend.com/6245781/editor...-oil/index.html
"The Deep Hot Biosphere," a paper that postulated that coal and oil are produced not by the decomposition of organic materials, but in fact are "abiogenic" -- the product of tectonic forces; i.e., deeply embedded hydrocarbons being brought up and through the earth's mantle and transformed into their present states by bacteria living in the earth's crust.
Eather way, the price of fuel is to much.

That email is such shit, it's only been circulating since the mid 90's. The oil companies won't even notice a one day boycott of gas, it needs to be at a minimum of a month.
It used to buy supply and demand that controlled the price of a gallon, but now a days it's more of a political issue. The demand for gas in the USA is actually down over 10% as people are seeing the increase and are driving less. The main reasons for the increases are countries like China and India that are finally becoming a more industrialized and people there are driving more.

What if we all plan to fart at once? I don't know much about math or science but it's gotta do something cool, no?

[QUOTE=JDM 4shot,Apr 21 2008, 12:18 AM] You can find as many links that peak oil is theory. I beleave even Hubbert would have called it theory. There are new oil finds all the time. Ultra deep oil wells, even in places you would not ever find oil. There is even blogs just to that http://peakoildebunked.blogspot.com/ .
