I'm too young to comment on the 70's oil fiasco, but was there as much
doomsday talk back then about 'Peak Oil' as there seems to be today?


A great deal more. We all believed that the oil would be gone in 25
years. Doomsday is almost upon us.

Happily, we all adjusted to the hydrogen economy in the 1980s, those
of us who didn't switch back to whale-oil lamps.

all the best -- Dan Ford

Are you referring to the 1970's, or the 1870's? :~)

The same hyperbole was with us even then.
