B-b-b-but what about "peak oil"???
Anyone remember that fear mongering horse chit from the late 90s/early 00s?
We watched a documentary in middle school about it and had to give presentations.
Well, now it's 2020 and oil is $15/barrel.... So much for that.

Got to think longer scale, brah. Look past a 2-5 year price war and towards 20-50 years of exponential growth in China and India.

The development of fracking and higher oil prices led to shale and other heavy oil deposits becoming economically viable. At the time it wasn't a farfetched claim, and today most conventional oil reserves are in decline. Remember $100/barrel wasn't that long ago... once the economy recovers, if renewable are still not replacing oil and gas en masse prices will shoot way up as the oil supply becomes mostly high-cost.

The reason why US production has sky rocketed is because of shale-fracking technology. Most of our oil production is now from fracking.
Peak Oil was based on a theory in 1960s with our known reserves and the rate of new well discovery. The energy field was looking reallllll bad 15-20 years in the US with conventional oil extraction.
Oil is still a finite supply. There's a huge difference between recoverable oil, proven oil and unproven reserves and whether or not it's accurate is up in the air.
It's all about supply and demand and the cost to extract it.Last edited by Burgerbuger; 04-19-2020 at 09:21 PM.
