Interesting that today I've also seen the headline that California is almost capable of 100% renewable energy. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/05/02/california-renewable-energy-100/9612901002/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/05/02/califo... It doesn't seem that the 'total collapse of civilization' would be so strongly tied to the oil industry as the writer suggests. If there truly is a reducing EROI in oil, it feels more likely that that industry would start losing resources to other renewable energy sectors. If things were as dire as he puts it, I would assume a bigger push for nuclear energy as existential fears start to outweigh NIMBYism. "Unlike the climate changes challenge, the energy challenge is imminent: peak oil is now. However, it is important to note that the effects of climate changes and peak oil are cumulative: raging forest fires, "once in a century" yearly floods, bomb cyclones..." How are those events tied to 'peak oil' specifically?
