More opinion with no facts to back it up. Have you given up on "Drill baby Drill" being the answer to our energy problems? :sun
Seems you keep using and using the same old tired argument, of reaching peak oil in 1971, while that might or might not be true in the US, it certainly isn't accepted as fact world wide .. even the IEA has come out and said that conventional crude oil peaked in 2006
you also have to remember that peak oil is defined on existing oil fields and the amount of oil being pumped from them, whenever a new oil reserve is found and tapped, that changes the peak oil numbers
Now, in 2008 and 2009 oil production was up in the US Why?
Projections from the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) indicate that the primary driver for this year's U.S. oil production resurgence is actually just getting started. That driver is the Gulf of Mexico, where operators have begun launching a group of new fields, fulfilling what has been a decade-long focus on unlocking the promise of deepwater exploration there .
Of course this had to stop, and Obama falsified reports to make sure he could put his ban on gulf coast drilling
