I love when corporations who suddenly consider themselves an authority in a field they know nothing about.

they're just another corporation carrying the water for their rich friends.

Unconventional fuels need to be left where they are, but this information indicates that their development is proceeding at a pace that is very dangerous for carbon control efforts.

And no... that particular key combination isn't expected to come up very often.

"Peak oil" in the abstract is as valid as it ever was... but the term as used here clearly refers to the notion that the world is past/at/near that peak. While the theory's proponents attempt to "tweak" it to avoid what is now obvious, the truth cannot be covered up: They were simply wrong.

In more direct response to your question. There are things "in there" that can be debated, but in general it looks solid.
