    @jebldmm and @gavini

    You folks can save a lot of typing by simply posting "Don't confuse me with the facts" the next time the subject of peal oil comes up.

    I apologize for being, well, condescending, but those letters are all wet from living in De Nile. You're both apparently entirely unaware of the scope of the problem/issue, engaged in what amounts to magical thinking and/or wishing for some sort of deus ex machina resolution...which is the same thing as magical thinking which makes me redundant. Whatever.

    Please follow the link to the Crash Course segment on peak oil:

    http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse/chapter-17a-peak-oil (or click my sig.)

    Hopefully that will inspire you to start from the beginning of the crash course:

    I know that being condescending is not the best way to encourage people to learn, and I am sorry, but I am long since out of patience with "magical thinking" and (for lack of a better term) aggressive ignorance and stupidity.
