"There is an oddly archaic tendancy on this forum to lump all negative predictions into the same chicken-little category. I think that attitude is dangerously smug. Peak oil questions are not global warming questions. It is not "conservative" to dismiss either without thorough examination, it is just plain dumb."

I'm glad I'm not the only one on here that thinks like this. Too many Freepers think that any concern about oil supply and the need to develop alternate energy sources is tree-hugging nonsense.
