Jiggsy! You just get back from a long vacation in the pokey, or maybe you ran off to peak oil churchcamp to try and get a better handle on all the stuff you were ignorant about before? In either case, welcome back! Lets hope you brought a few more billion brain cells with you though, you were getting a bit long of tooth before.
Cool story, bro'. Actually, I was reducing you to the babbling, goalpost-shifting, self-adulating fraud that you are. It got boring crushing you on the same fundamental points over and over again, so I stuck with theoildrum and resilience.org for a while, where people don't cling to faith-based ideology like you and "Kiss Me" do day after day here.
yes...that is what people do when they know they can't participate anymore because they can only take so much looking incompetent.
What? Jack themselves over the same retarded premises like you do? Yeah, I know. ... Ah well, at least you're admitting it, finally.
No fear, you are hardly the first!
The first to leave you cornered with no out besides personal insinuation? I'm hardly surprised, considering how much of a douche you are in your delivery, in addition to being so fundamentally wrong.
Well, oil production in the United States in the past 15 years has had an aggregate depletion rate of...WAIT FOR IT....0 PERCENT! Thats right, 15 years of decline erased by the tight oil of the Bakken and Eagleford.
And because of that desperate detour to heavier crap, the cost is up some 500-600%, WAY ahead of normal inflation. You get how this equation works, do you not? We've been over it some 15 times, and you're still stuck on stupid.
But don't you worry Jiggsy,
LOL. I'm not. Not even a little bit. The debate is long over, as confirmed by industry men much smarter and better paid than goofy you.
peak oil is so bad lately that I've been driving the monster truck just because gasoline prices have dropped so much.
Ah yes. Your final rallying point, whereby you pretend it's not happening because well-off asshats like yourself don't feel it yet - as they have more discretionary spending than most. Replete with arrogant condescension, of course.
I suppose the spring gouging will start soon, so I'll be back on the scooter or bicycle, but that's the breaks until we can get some more decent peak oil price increases back into crude.
Considering how much you've lied about the past two years, you'll forgive me for not believing for one second that you ride a bike to work nor market. Meanwhile, oil price is up some 10% since the last time we spoke? Meanwhile, less and less people can afford it (and everything it provides) with each passing month.
Good thing that most crude is used to move fat Americans around in SUVs then! So we just get them off into a decent EV and presto, all the oil they wasted can go to the things it should really be used for. And really, come to think of it, if I consider commuting "people freight", then certainly nuclear, wind and solar can all be used (individually or in combination) to move "commuting freight" as it were. I already use all three! Well, two anyway, no nukes in my neck of the woods. Lots of wind, reasonable amounts of solar though.
So for all your blather, you finally admit that conversion and conservation are desperately needed components. Surrender accepted. We can agree on that much. I guess the difference being that you feel it will all be a seamless transition, and growth won't miss a beat. Ooops, nope. Growth will never be the same, because cheap energy from abundant light crude IS what allows for growth - a basic concept you can't seem to get your flat head around.
And the explosion in natural gas production, no need to talk about that.
And with good reason, considering you avoided the challenge put to you to acknowledge their painfully awkward annual ldepletion rates. Keep being you.
You need to catch up on things Jiggsy,
No, apparently I need to keep reminding you of the same things you run from each time I return.
that exponential growth in types of power generation hasn't been sleeping while you were finding a new rock to pop out from under.
Do you even know what the word "exponential" means? Because you appear to be using it wrong here.
Oh, lets give the old Jiggsey nonsense a break, try some NEW Jiggsey nonsense instead!
If any of what I've said while engaging you was "nonsense," you'd have responded to any of the many challenges put to you. You haven't. Instead, you've changed your argument, ignored perspective, and generally acted like an 11-year-old while pretending to be an industry insider.
Crude gets more expensive, and us consumers buy an EV and stop worrying about it.
By "us consumers" you must mean the out-of-touch, gated community drones like yourself? I'm sure you're not worried about it, as the global economy continues to come apart at the seams. That's just the kind of person you are.
Admittedly mine still uses a little every now and then, but seriously, once you replace liquid fuels with electricity, it is tough to go back except for the fun factor, sportcars, motorcycles and the like. The pure rush of hydrocarbon powered transport does have an appeal, but so does the quiet "whoosh!" of the electric off to work. Try one Jiggsey, you'll like it, and maybe then you'll stop bleating like a sheep.
Sounds good in your empty head, I'm sure. But the reality is that electricity made from magic, like the kind you curiously are attempting to convey here, doesn't move frieght in any commercially productive capacity yet, despite decades of trying. It also doesn't pave roads, provide plastics nor fertilize crops.
Got any links to that huge factory pumping out e-cars and e-trucks using electricity made by non-fossil fuel sources? I'll wait. ... As for natural gas, why aren't the majors converting the world's fleet of vehicles to run on it? Because they know the (front-loaded) "fracking craze" you masturbate over isn't gonna last very long - what with their laughable depletion rates you can't dare to acknowledge.
In this equation, the only sheep is you. You'll eat up whatever tools like Yergin and David Frum offer. It's a faith-based religion for you zealots. Oh, the irony.
Run along now, little cornucopian.
Run out of oil?
