STRAUSSENPOLITIK: 'THE IEA SAYS PEAK OIL IS DEAD. THAT’S BAD NEWS FOR CLIMATE POLICY'

In der Serie "Straußenpolitik" möchten wir unseren Lesern eine Auswahl an Artikeln vorstellen, in denen versucht wird, Peak Oil zu leugnen, ins Lächerliche zu ziehen oder Technologien als Lösung des Grundproblems finiter Ressourcen darzustellen.

"No one—aside maybe from survivalists who’d stocked up on MREs [Meals Ready to Eat] and assault rifles—was really looking forward to a peak-oil world ... But it’s increasingly likely that we will have more than enough oil in the future to keep the global economy growing and stave off any Mel Gibson-esque apocalypses ... Oil isn’t likely to peak any time soon ... Still, sort of expensive gasoline isn’t exactly the dystopia that peak-oil theorists predicted."
