"The key fallacy behind the "peak oil" argument is that there's nothing we can do to exceed the peak production of 1972, so why bother?" No, it doesn't. However, it does mean that you need to take that into account and start looking elsewhere. That is, assuming you want to be reality based. If you dream of new super-continents of unexplored and untapped resources, then ignoring the peak(s) and saying we just need to drill more might be your cup of tea...

"The key fallacy behind the "peak oil" argument is that there's nothing we can do to exceed the peak production of 1972, so why bother?" There is nothing we can do to exceed the peak of 72....if you know something you better tell Big Oil in a hurry...cause they know the peak was reached... BTW, the world peak appears to have occured or is about to occur soon.... Sure we should continue to drill and look but get over the silly assumption that there is an unlimited supply and all we have to do is find it......you know of course that we're getting ready to explore under the North Pole...not exactly Texas, is it?? And 22,000 foot wells in the ocean is not like drilling a 100 feet in the sand of Saudi Arabia.... So uncross your fingers and spend a lot of time on the Dept of Energy web site...
