4. Your assessment of peak oil IS a myth
Wed Dec 21, 2011, 12:22 PM
Dec 2011

let me reiterate, YOUR ASSESSMENT OF PEAK OIL IS A MYTH.

Now let me address your attack on my number 500 million barrels a day, that figure was
arrived at by combining all the major players in the Gulf, this does not include independent,
but when you consider one company which is Exxon not too long ago discovered an oil
well that produces 700 million barrels a day, then combining the big companies for an
estimated figure of 500 million barrels a day imo is a conservative figure.

My point is there is plenty of oil to last us for eternity, except that the oil companies wants
us to believe oil is peaking just so they can continue their exploitation of the masses.
