To: blam
His legacy will no doubt be his work on peak oil and resource scarcity. Which has already been proven false.

FR time or its server time doesn’t mesh with the internet time and hasn’t for a good while now.

There was speculation that things were not right with him...he certainly was active spreading fear ....caused a lot of pain.

The sad thing was that some of it was very easily proven incorrect. But that didn’t keep it from being spread across the net and other media sources.

Sorry for his death and his family but Peak Oil has been disproven the same as oil being from fossilized whatever from a bunch of dinosaurs, who somehow managed to herd themselves and die in the same place, miles and miles below the surface and even deeper in the ocean.
