I remember peek gas articles 40 years ago.

Anything that happens now is viewed through a pseudo "it's the system" and IMO sort of implied apocalyptic-ism about it. It really wears on me.

Processes which were not economically feasible 40 years ago are options now. I believe that oil/tar sands are now in this category.

I think that is part of what makes these predictions a little iffy.

A lot of countries and regions have passed peak gas years or even decades ago. Same for oil.

Globally we might not be there yet though.
