Curiosity Piqued about Peak Oil?
A quick scan of my referer log tonight revealed a solitary hit from a site named Dry Dipstick. This is proof positive that there's now a website devoted to every conceivable topic, as this site bills itself as "a metadirectory of peak oil."
The visit in question went to my post on Tuesday which gave brief consideration to the conflicting theories regarding the source and supply of petroleum, namely: (1) oil is non-renewable and rapidly depleting vs. (2) oil can be created naturally from non-organic sources and thus is renewable.
I presume that Dry Dipstick had a link to that post under its Breaking News and Commentary section, although the moderators apparently came to their senses and now link to something else by someone who knows what they're talking about. Nevertheless, if you want to know more about the facts and theories of the world's supply of crude oil and natural gas, albeit mostly from a "peak oil theory" perspective, Dry Dipstick seems to be a pretty good place to start.
Let's see how long it takes before the media starts using Dry Dipstick as a "news source".

Looks like Dry Dipstick has their heads in the crude.
