If the above sounds familiar it should – it’s what I was saying here. In the video below Richard Heinberg explains that peak oil isn’t the problem it’s peak cheap oil – yes you have heard that from me before as well. This is a 26 minute video but I would advise you to take the time to watch it.
Heinberg also points out it’s not just peak cheap oil it’s peak cheap everything.
