Bingo. A lot of peak oil partisans are oil industry types, looking for tax breaks and a rollback of environmental regs - and to justify high prices. Funny to see leftists so quick to sign up with the program. Well not so funny, given apocalyptic temperaments.
Also - I couldn't agree more with the quote and attribute thing. There are hundreds of subscribers and probably thousands of archive readers. Would people please think of those readers before hitting the send button? Trim quotes, make attributions clear, and pay attention to things like typos and appearance?
