I highly doubt that it's the Euro-Left that's preventing oil drilling, considering how dependent the continent is on Russia to meet its energy needs. As for the North Sea, it peaked sometime ago and the EROI continues to drop. It's the same in the U.S.A. All the easily extractable oil in places like Texas and California are gone and now were getting most of our oil from remote regions of Alaska and offshore wells. Your right about Goldman Sachs speculating in the oil markets after the housing boom cooled off. Thomas,

Aren't we already passing Hubbert's original peak oil timeline anyway (and with all the limitations on oil drilling)? Even here in Norway, they know there is far more oil to be found...if only we can get past the New Left and Euro-liberal tools who have adopted an obscurantist ideology of de-development. Plus I am extremely sceptical whenever I hear peak oil mentioned due to the past few years when the Goldman Sachs minions were on financial TV all day saying the price of oil had to quadruple almost overnight because the Chinese just started buying cars and we are reaching peak oil. Of course that was an excuse for them to pull people into their speculative bubble and screw them badly. Pardon my speech there. Jeremiah,

I’m curious about Farmer’s book. There have been some interesting tidbits here and there in the news about the negative impact of birth control pills on women’s health and their ability to choose a biologically optimal mate. (Google birth control pill and immune system.) Regardless of the original sinister intent of encouraging birth control, it seems like it’s the most educated and sophisticated members of society whose ranks are thinning thanks to reduced and later in life reproduction. In my experience, it’s the progressive careerist that is most likely to devote herself to her profession and screw around until her mid-thirties before she decides to have one baby with a man she may or may not stay married to. War on the family, yes. War on the poor? Not so sure how that works. Maybe I should read the book. CO2 control is definitely about control— control of the very air humanity breaths (out).

It is merely the marketing that is designed to cover the fact that peak oil is on the horizon.
