Good article. Shame he is falling for the Peak Oil sham. Like every other resource, alternative means of production can offset changes in the nature of supply if price signals indicate it is worthwhile to do so. For example the U.S. has trillions of tons of coal. Using technology developed back in WW II, we could turn that coal into oil if there was a driving interest and prices remained high enough (somewhere over $110 a barrel iirc) for long enough. Each ton of coal can be made into a barrel of oil.

There’s 4000 miles of minerals to dig into.
