There's no cult claiming infinite oil: <no more then the religion of "infinite oil". > Listening to the public and their leaders about the Greenhouse Effect, Global Warming, Climate Change, CO2 etc, it is very cult-like. Already we have the "Deniers" language being used, which is a synonym for "Heretics". There is talk of punishing "Deniers", making it illegal to be a "Denier" etc, just as in normal cults.

If you include Orinoco and Canadian heavy stuff as "oil" then it's vast as far as anyone alive today is concerned, at current oil prices. If you include shale and coal as "oil" then there's an awful lot of the stuff to be burned.

I haven't studied "Peak Oil" theory and nomenclature in detail, but I use oil to mean as per BP's statistical review of world energy usage of the word oil, which doesn't [I think] include Orinoco or Athabasca bituminous goop.

My estimate of the year of Peak Oil using BP's definitions, is 2037, along with Peak People.
