I don't really care about "History", or conspiracy theories.

I care about Facts, because facts are the only thing we have that can give us clues to "the future".

If you think Matt Savinar is a quack, look past some of his attempts at humor and do some fact-checking yourself.

To his credit the book is thoroughly foot-noted. He just illustrates the work of economists, analysts, journalists, statisticians and scientists, sources he cites in the text. (If you downloaded it the last week in October.)

His argument, basically, is that, when you take together all possible perspectives of the problem (Scarcity of oil), you're allowed to make predictions about the future without anyone thinking you're being totally absurd.

Its called "Reason".

I have no problem with anyone working out scenarios and thinking about the future.

In fact I agree with him, the situation looks pretty bleak. I think we're in for a bad ....decade. Eventually, we'll have secured enough oil in the last remaining economically viable areas of the Earth, the Frozen Arctic wastes. Antarctica. Or at least some part of us will. Because if you think the Oil Crash is going to be like the Great Depression, you're in for a shock... its more like the Stone Age.
