You know the definition of the word empire goes far beyond your convenient 'google-tard' maneuver.
When dealing with a 'tard, it is best to not assume they understand much of anything. You demonstrate why nearly every time you post.
Don't take it personally, you needing to be reminded of the definitions of words, not everyone can have passed the 3rd grade.
JiggsCasey said:Oh, and for the record, tool shed, I know far more about peak oil than you do.
Obviously not. Not a page ago you couldn't even figure out in which speech Jimmy predicted we would be running out of oil by the end of the 80's. And certainly you lack any knowledge of past peaks or predictions of peak. You can't calculate an EROEI in any way except one which would make me rich, and you thought that Faith had retired from the IEA except...he hadn't.
Anything else you have displayed ignorance of I can remind you of? Oh yeah, and you never read Hirsch 2005 DOE report, and didn't even know his 1987 report even existed. Yeah...you've been trained really good in the ignorance of the peak oil church.

I don't live in Texas. Polly wanna cracker?
