" I do understand peak oil theory rather well, the basic idea is really simple, but any guesses about when the US is essentially out of oil are just that, guesses, educated guesses at best, they don't really deserve the term theory, if your being generous they could be called hypotheses." You can't understand it and say " but any guesses about when the US is essentially out of oil are just that, guesses, educated guesses at best, they don't really deserve the term theory," You can decide, if you like, what out of oil means but that number will still fall on the asymptote.... So you can truly say we will never run out of oil...... For example, you can never reduce the size of something to nothing, you can only make it smaller and smaller, but you will not make it disappear....
