From your link:
If this is such an earth-shattering disclosure, then why did only Goldman-Sachs report it? Why did nobody else verify their claim? All you have is this blog which states they claim is in error...

Oh. Maybe this is why.
http://www.theoildrum.com/node/8367Maybe somebody screwed up and a report intended for internal use only was made public.
Now for the compelling question...
FaFa: What have you done to lilMike to join you as a Conspiracy Theorist Extraordinaire???
I agree that if in the original article that promotes the report that it brings up that it might be based on questionable data... than it's questionable. But I'm not interested in any particular actual date that we could be the world's largest producer of oil, I'm interested in the trend. A few years ago, who predicted this? All I kept hearing about was peak oil. We were running out... But now, technological developments have opened up quite a lot of petroleum both in the US and Canada that wasn't available before.
I find this good news since it shows that it could be feasible to become energy independent in a couple of years. But you are acting as if this is bad news. What gives? I thought energy independence was something that both the left and right could agree on.
And what is this conspiracy that I'm in?
