Look it up for yourself, don't listen to me. Google "Hubbert Peak" and

One man opinion.

You just don't get it. The Hubbert Curve is not an opinion, it is
science. US continental production did peak in 1971-72. That is a fact.
Hubbert predicted it would peak between 1965-1970. He also predicted
world production would peak in 2000. As it takes several years for a true
peak to become apparent, it is not now known if he was accurate, but there
are many that believe the peak was in 2004. Whenever the true peak
occurs know that, at that time, 1/2 the world's oil supplies will be gone.
Also know that the world will never run out of oil, it will run out of
economically obtainable oil, and I don't mean expensive. If it takes
more oil to find, transport, and process, than is recovered, the field is
abandoned.

You're preaching to the same type of audience who also has severe problems
understanding Supreme Court transcripts, in which the justices & lawyers use
"straw man" arguments (a sin here, but a universal tool for legal scholars)
to get to the bottom of a legal problem. It makes the audience's brains
hurt.
