>>>So oil production will peak long before simple geology would indicate because there is no unfettered access to the rocks for those with the best technology.<<< Oh come on Dennis. It would peak sooner with "unfettered access." You cannot create what is not there. Except . . . with breeder reactors, you do in fact create what was not there: additional nuclear fuel. Now please do not come back at me with some irrelevant comment about the dangers of plutonium, etc. If you want energy, you have to produce heat. Most of the oil in the world, at least the pumpable crude oil, is already gone: burnt up. I wish that what you said was true, because that would mean that there was plenty of oil left. Unfortunately, that is not true. Petroleum cannot be legislated.
