We've been writing about peak oil since early 2005 on RTH (and I've been writing about it since 2004). It's hardly fair to accuse us of being "short sighted" when we've been trying hard to sound the alarm for nearly six years that we're headed for serious trouble.- Ryan

You are short sighted because you relish the coming of peak oil, seem to be awaiting triple digit fuel prices like a kid waiting for Christmas morning and while you say "we're headed for serious trouble" your enthusiasm for increasing fuel costs makes me wonder if you understand how poorly prepared we are for any of it and the dire consequences that lack of preparation will have. That is why you are being short sighted, it has nothing to do with the timeline of your supposed enlightenment.

Getting the "I told you so" at the current social costs of triple digit fuel seems a little like hubris to me Ryan. It may be a "Win for RTH" but it will be a bloody disaster for society's most vulnerable.
