Former IEA Econmist: Peak Oil within the decade | 48 comments (48 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

I thought consensus was that peak oil had already happened? Or is it like fusion - always 20 years in the future?

What consensus? We are talking about Science, not religion.

We're talking about forecasts, not lab experiments.

Re: Already passed? (3.50 / 2)

Depends on how you define "oil."

The peak of what was called "oil" twenty years ago is in the past. But liquid(ish) hydrocarbons exist in a continuum all the way from Saudi light sweet to tar and asphalt, and if you keep pushing deeper into the heavy sour crap then you can push the peak a little bit into the future.
