Keymasterdavelj, you are correct, peak oil is absolutely not accepted as fact by all experts. But I would note that CERA is famous for their optimistic view on oil production (not to mention their dismal forecasting record). They come across to me as the NAR of oil forecasting.
To be clear, I realize that you weren’t endorsing the views of CERA, and that you were just rebutting the “observation vs theory” statement — I just couldn’t help taking a shot at CERA.

What’s kind of interesting is that in my reading I saw that the largest deposits of shale oil in the world are in Colorado – like half of the known global deposits, or something like that. It would be interesting if in 20 years or so, assuming oil prices are much higher than they are now on a real basis (a good bet, I’d say), Colorado became a major player in the oil industry and supplied a large portion of domestically-consumed oil.[/quote]That’s very interesting indeed. I think the Denver area for the next couple decades may see better growth prospects than San Diego, thanks to high-tech and energy.
