Got into a disagreement with a guy on our Alaska forum yesterday. He says we're at "peak oil" which means we've picked all the low-hanging fruit, and oil will get much more expensive in the future. I don't know.
What I do know is that I can remember when gas was 25-cents/gallon.
Right now a silver (pre-64) quarter will bring $4.23 from the Silver & Gold Exchange, and a silver quarter will still buy a gallon of gas.
So if we're at "peak oil," whatever the hell that's supposed to mean, why is gas selling for essentially what it did 50 years ago?
What's the story? Is this "peak oil" stuff just more doom-and-gloom malarkey, or is there something to it?
Help . . .

The canary didn't die because this mine is dangerous, it died because it's lazy and wasn't raised with a proper work ethic.

Never criticize anyone until you've walked several kilometres in their shoes.
Because
1. You're now several kilometres away; and
2. You've got their shoes.

And thank you, CS . . as they say, "Who Knows?" I think this Peak Oil thing might be something like the Global Warming thing.
