This is a bizzare claim: of course oil production will peak at some
point and then decline! Fossil fuels are a finite resource. Do you
mean to say that you disagree with the projected peak dates? --And more
importantly: do you have empirically verified statistical models to
support your preferred date, as the geologists who have carefully
studied this topic do?
