So why no interest in the blog Jenna? While I realize that lack of interest might be part of the reason the same kind of info couldn't attract paying members to Wesley's attempt at branding Mike's name as something other than what it became after the FTW and BOLI episode, you would at least think one or two of the doomer types would show up to comment on the free stuff, wouldn't you?

It is surprising. I assume if we have another decent recession like 2008, or some event that sets the doomers off all atwitter, some will show up, but I would have figured even during normal times there would be SOME interest in the news you post.

Doomer blogs and forums are the best news aggregation spots for keeping an eye on the general pulse of the chicken little brigades. Rather then trolling a hundred MSM and alternate sites, just drop into a standard doomer spot, check out the most popular 5 or 10, and you'll know what has their panties in an uproar on any given day.

Funny how peak oil has dropped out of site, but not a surprise to those of us who knew better way back when. Lately it is all financial and climate stuff.

it has not dropped out of "site" [sic] and those who understand the issue don't have to be told why.

I seriously doubt you know anyone with any credibility on the issue at this point. And by extension, had any understanding in the first place of resource economics.

But folks who might? Amy Jaffe at UC Davis? Any USGS geoscientists? Subject matter, resource experts at the EIA or IEA? IHS consulting, maybe Rystad? Wood-Mac? I'm not sure any of the modern peakers aren't worth more than,at LEAST, a teensy giggle at this point.
