Looking for and, ideally, finding oil is a quest unto itself. Belive me, the two aren't mutually inclusive.
It's a fine balance between science and economics. Do you think that the people who embark on this quest give a flying fuck about peak oil?
Geoligists, geoscientists, geophysicists, financiers, money managers, project managers, contractors, drilling superintendants, drilling formen, and rig hands are one and all focused upon making a commodity squirt out of the ground and into the tanks.
A commodity. A money making, bill paying, get the groceries on the table clothes on my kids back pay the mortgage commodity.
Philsophise all you want to about peak shit. The men, women, and children of the world's petroleum industry will keep on keepin' on until there is no money to be made. When the market bounces high they do their thing. When it crashes (remember $10 oil just a decade ago?), they'll lose their shirts.
You all too easily discount the contributions of every single little mom and pop operator especially those in the U.S. of A. It adds up- get that? It may be a drop in the big bucket but it may mean a college education to Mr. and Mrs. Smith's kid in bo-hunk nowheresville.
There is no peak to the determination and fight down here in the trenches. There's only a desire to make a better life amid the never-ending acrimonious public and political idiocy that permiates a blind mindset.
For over 150 years you've been given a magic elixer that's benefited mankind to no end. Yet you derisively and continually scorn the hand that feeds you. Goddamn bunch of fucking idiots.
