Whiplash Plateau

Dmitry Orov Dmitry Orlov returns to the C-Realm Podcast for a review of the Peak Oil scene and where it stands 9+ years after his first introduced the topic to C-Realm listeners in episode 20. KMO asks if the American empire has any chance of collapsing as gracefully as the Soviet empire did. Dmitry's answer gives little reason for optimism. Dmitry also explains how it takes a lot of oil to make a Bitcoin and why "undulating plateau" is too euphemistic a phrase to describe the wild fluctuations that the Peak Oil theory predicts for oil prices once the easy-to-obtain oil is gone. This episode marks the transition from a weekly to a monthly production schedule for the main C-Realm Podcast.
