I believe that Hubberts peak is true and that we are now past the point of peak oil. I think many of the current events have to do with this downturn and it won’t be long before the main stream media and population wake up and understand what is going on. For me and my family, we are preparing for the next era.

Proving that oil (even a weak proof) is not the same as disproving the peak oil hypothesis. The peak oil theory is simply that the amount of crude oil produced by the world will ultimately hit a peak and then decline. Many believe the time is near. And it really doesn’t matter why the peak occurs … political problems are just a troublesome as the fact that oil deposits are becoming more sour, deeper, and mixed with sand.

Exactly. The current idiocy we have surrounding this is what happens when we frame the problem badly. Instead of “how will we have enough oil to continue powering our cars,” we need to ask “how will we continue powering our cars?” There are better questions than my proposal, I’m sure, but the basic idea is the same.

Not only does the increased taxation of oil companies reduce the incentive to invest, but it is also worth noting that companies themselves dont pay taxes, only individuals do, so that burden will be passed on to the consumer, not the company.
