    If you can post CitiBank Propaganda...

    Look at the sources of the data within the charts - it's not really Citibank. For example, is the IEA good enough?

    No offense to you or anyone else here, I understand sources matter with "opinions". But, with data, ummm... probably as much. Picking and choosing data put forward by different sources, seems kinda silly.

    Next thing I know... I'm going to be called a "Peak Oil denier". ha ha.
    Here's a new demo called "in the fire":

    Question- doesn't it seem obvious that if we have to go to such great and expensive lengths to extract oil such a tar sand production and deep sea oil wells like Horizon that peak oil is, in fact, a reality? Peak oil denial makes sense only in that we've relied on that cheap and (once) easy to extract source of energy for a hundred years and we just don't know how to deal with getting on without it. But we'll learn. We'll have to.

    I don't know about "obvious" but it does seem to be indicative, yes.
    Also, as much as i love charts (of anything, really) that OPEC chart seems pretty damning.
    If the highest prices in history can't get OPEC to up production, it must mean SOMEthing. :D

    Yes, "indicative" is a much better word here. Thanks!
