Nucleated oil is everywhere, except for the fact dvdw can't find any, thus, explaining why he is here. Put your pop science book on quantum mechanics down and go do some horizontal drilling in your back yard. Maybe you'll get lucky and hit a gas pipe.

You have it wrong, not only per my posts here and elsewhere, but also per my site - especially the quotes page*.

I don't at all believe in socialism and never have, but be my guest on using logical fallacies and spin and lies and partial statements.
I'm not a believer in the global warming worship game and never have been, much as I wasn't a Club of Rome dweeb in the 70s on global cooling. I also don't believe there's an ice age directly ahead.

Hubbert was correct on peak oil. If you actually bother to read his work, you'll see that he was forecasting peak conventional (aka light sweet) oil and he was basically correct on his timing. My current belief is summarized, if you actually had read my posts in the area here and elsewhere, by the phrase "peak cheap oil" (or to a lesser extent in "peak cheap energy" barring major breakthroughs). The planet doesn't have infinite quantities of anything, except perhaps human stupidity and ideology worship.

It continues to be quite illustrative that I posted the Rand critique and all that has happened so far is one cherry pick on a logic issue, and a total failure otherwise to address any of the many points in it.

But again and as I said before, I don't care for the total picture on Rand and Objectivism and you can't deal with disagreements with the ideology without specious and numerous personal attacks, and outright lies.
Great example of practicing it and actually understanding it.

Yes, I have made decent money over the years since about 2004 when I retired - well over 10x'ed my net worth after taxes, etc. I hit my net worth target way back in 2009.

Here's so more "ego-centric" facts for you, in no particular order:

* I called the housing peak in August 2005.
* I was the first on the planet to reconstruct M3, and also backed off after Williams produced his (it's his livelihood and he has done great work with exposing the problems with the CPI, etc.)
* I called the bottom in March 2009, but did miss the peak by a few months.
* I documented and wrote an article on the ECB gold trading games from 2001-8.
* I reconstructed the discontinued U7 unemployment rate before anyone else.
* I documented and proved that the main vehicle that the Fed uses to control interest rates is the Securities Lending OMO.
* I've maintained a free site with 1000s of charts that track the 5 main CBs on the planet, etc, etc. since 2005, and that still gets 6 figure hits per week in spite of it's quite (and intentional) retro appearance and minimal maintenance.
* Lots more...

* I do predict that you or another will now cherry pick my quotes page, and also continue the personal attacks. Sign of the times...
