Peak Oil

 * Excerpt ...


 * This reads more like a personal vendetta and difference in opinion than a "Record of Inaccurate Statements." I would argue that it ought to be removed altogether, considering the unprecedented amount of space it takes up in a relatively small article. At very least it should be called what it is, perhaps "Peak Oil Controversy," and recognize that this is one opinion, but there are many who support Yergin in his theories. http://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/commentary-mainmenu-43/10809-rising-oil-production-in-alberta-more-evidence-disproving-hubberts-peak


 * The cited articles appear to be accurate in that they cite specific data from government sources and compare that data to Yergin's comments. I do not see evidence of a personal vendetta.  That others like Yergin's views does not make them more or less accurate in terms of the raw data, so I am not clear on how that matters.


 * Yes, it probably does require a citation to avoid a misrepresentation. I understand the commenter's irksomeness (who did not sign by the way) because of Yergin's influence over this issue, but there should be some evidence of, as in this example, his mistaken predictions with the use of citations. His influence on these issues ought to be addressed also, since he has personally stymied and interfered with any progress over the course of a 30 year history at developing alternative energy systems...Stevenmitchell (talk) 00:06, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, there are also climate change deniers. Some people even think the earth is flat. ---Dagme (talk) 05:37, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, Reference [17], pointing to an article in Financial Times is no longer directly available. Evidence for discrediting the peak oil theory needs to be soundly based in physics - not financial speculation. As the reference regarding "discrediting" peak oil is no longer available, I recommend removing both the comment and the reference. Regards, V.Verfolnir (talk) 04:28, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
