[@pstarr01]

Thank you John. Your presentation is so impressive, and equally frightening.

I added slides in the comments

Thank you! Sharing.

Great presentation. Can I just confirm that your 3rd slide is saying that since it will take well over 100 years to get back the energy we put into developing Nuke, Wind, Solar etc. these are all net losers and a complete waste of time? While I can understand this for wind and solar, is it really true for nukes as they generate a lot of power? thanks.

I think in the case of nucelar the relative rate is from like the time it is mined, to the time it is used, in which there can be a very substantial lag, of usually years or decades.

Who is John Peach? Does he have a profile or website somewhere? I might need to cite this work and I need to know what I'm referencing/any relevant credentials, etc. Will see if I can find these things out for myself but asking in the meantime. Thank you.

John Peace has a PhD and worked in industry improving efficiency until Jevon's Paradox made him decide to go back to MIT where he worked on lasers for 20+ years. Now he retried and does various things including helping us crunch numbers for oil. Can check his website at wildpeaches.xyz

That rate discussion explains why fossil fuels are so addictive.

Another fortune teller as stepped into the wrong! Get ready for another failed peak date!

[@AndriiZ]

:o! Really? You mean another "move the goal posts" date? Cause we've passed multiple peaks already. Which peak is it you are thinking of this time?

@@AndriiZ all global peak oil predictions have failed buddy everything single one. You need to read Adam’s Brandt 2010 paper on the subject peak oil models are highly unreliable and fail all the time
