		<description><![CDATA[Ten months ago, I offered this observation:
This is the reality: we’re NOT running out of oil, and we won’t for several more decades. But that is not the point and never is when discussing peak oil. Peak oil is about the rate of production, the quality of oil, the ease of access, refinement, availability, and [...]]]></description>

Amy Myers Jaffe (nice takedown here) wrote an article for Foreign Policy a while back, serving up another example from the playbook of denial nonsense. As I suggested in a series of posts at [...]]]></description>

Its premise begins with a simple question: “What happens to oil exports in a world with constrained oil supplies?”
