Interestingly, there is an odd constructive interference between the Green ideologues, the Peak Oil / Dieoff Doomers and speculators. All of them help each others' agendas with their effusive and deep, constantly spewing rhetoric.

I will defend the Peak Oil position.
I worked in the oil industry, late 60s/early 70s. The Hubbert ideas were common science, among petroleum engineers and geologists.
Probably same is true, today. "Original Oil in Place" is finite. The variables are finding it, and economics/technology/politics of producing it.
The Peak Oil science has nothing to do with Green ideologues, although they converge on the same implications, eg. fuel economy, alternatives, etc.
