From Jenna Orkin
Scientists Have Created A Fuel Cell That Runs On Urine -- Yep, Urine
With the arrival of Peak Oil, the curtain has closed on Act 1 of the drama Petroleum Man. What will happen in Act 2? Chekhov said, "If there's a gun on the wall at the beginning of the play, by the end it must go off." In the world's nuclear arsenal are many guns on the wall. If life copies art, will there be an Act 3 in which the players, having learned their lesson the hard way, live sustainably? To explore these and other questions... FTW's Act 2 Blog. Read, comment, take heart! Orkin

Peak fossil fuels in 10 years!!!
MI CARAMBA!!!! HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!
Quick, someone round up a low level alcoholic firefighter with documented mental issues who knows nothing about resource economics and have him front yet another cycle of malthusian doom! Rally the troops!
Just kidding Jenna...but it was funny to see this pop up. Again. Seems a little early for another round tail chasing with doomers, but then if there weren't people of below average intelligence in this country, not only would the average IQ be higher but there wouldn't be anyone gullible enough to buy into this so soon after the last one gave us $2.00/gal gasoline and made the US the worlds largest producer of energy.

The state of California approved both the disposal of oil field waste water into specific formations, and then amusingly (or ignorantly) allowed that same water to irrigate crops. This isn't a surprise because Californians don't hire industry professionals to handle their technical regulatory activities...same issue with the Porter Ranch mess as well. Amateurs in charge, not willing to pay the wages necessary to get competent people, feel free to point your ire properly...at people who know about as much as YOU do about anything related to oil field operations.
But you shouldn't be irritated, with all the effort you put into carefully choosing links oriented in one direction, you at least have ONE member paying attention in the audience. Which is infinitely better than the obvious alternative....ZERO!
Any thoughts on why this blogs popularity ranks somewhere between sea floor dwelling crustaceans and the ooze they walk around on?
always glad to hear from you, sea floor dwelling crustacean.
Glad to be of service in the greater good of the "peak oil gave me the shale revolution and $2.00/gal gasoline and probably set back the free market viability of renewables by a decade because of it" gang.
and thank you for clarifying where your allegiance lies.
Allegiance? A basic precept of science involves understanding an issue prior to making the most basic hypothesis. This includes BOTH sides of the issue, emphasis mine, for those who perhaps have no experience doing scientific work.
Certainly even if you did have such training and experience, and choose to pretend (as opposed to actually are) ignorance at the level of nearly every other peak oil blogger, you don't appear to understand even the simplest role of regulators and regulatory agencies in this matter.
Are you aware of the pay scales? Are you aware of their professional qualifications and requirements prior to being put in charge of oversight of these assets? Do you even know what they are ALLOWED to do, as compared to what they are not? Or is your ignorance as thorough in this area as it is about resource economics?
I freely confess to ignorance of how much regulators get paid and would welcome enlightenment.
I see your blog has quite the following Reserve.Must be due to the plethora of nothing to read on it.There is plenty of ire to go around for the imbeciles that should be leaving the remaining fossil fuels/uranium in the ground where they are instead of contaminating the water and air that every living thing on this planet needs to survive,to make a short term profit off of them.As far as this blog is concerned my ire is reserved for the troll taking a passive aggressive pot shot at someone who is no longer around to defend their position.If you think that FTW's position on the Peak Oil issue has been one sided,then maybe you should visit www.fromthewilderness.com which took a good look at,and debated BOTH sides of the issue in over 100 articles and essays published there.
Oh, you mean that title I set up once? Yeah, I got that far and then realized that once someone connected my professional work with my personal opinion and general disposition towards peak oil cultists, they would use one against the other. So I never did anything other than create the header.
And passive aggressive? Are you KIDDING? Mike was a neophyte when it came to resource economics, and I'm on record as far back as about 2006 saying so. Nothing passive aggressive about it, I showed up on one of his little podcasts once before Collapsenet (since Collapsed) started up and asked interesting questions about the Afghan pipeline that had never been built and ol' Mikey, a bit truculent he became.
As for FTW, sure I'm more than a little familiar with it. And no, FTW didn't' cover both sides of the issue any more than you can discuss both sides of Mike.
