As a retired consulting engineer and lecturer on peak oil let me let me open by saying that conventional oil has probably already peaked, and we mostly doomed. The present quick world recession caused the supply/demand curves to temporarily reverse. A better investment strategy would include firearms, canned goods and small denomination silver coins. Good Luck.

Duh, "new oil is plentiful"? Where? Please tell me. But, please don't tell me about the vast new shale oil just ready to ramp up (same story fifty years ago), or how tar sands will add the 5 million barrels/day/year just to offset the existing field declines, or how MAYBE a million more barrels/day of new US offshore drilling in ten years will affect the 85 million/day world production. Please, learn the facts before your write the article, junk like this article is preventing action on a real energy plan.
