One of the big takeways from Art berman, Nate Hagens and other experts on this subject is that the growth of GDP is very heavily dependent on Oil and it's impossible to decouple that within the next several decades. That may sound unlikely but the evidence they've shown is overwhelmingly convincing. One of the things I've learned is that reknewables aren't actually reknewable: they are mostly all tied to oil in some way, almost everything is because everything is either made of oil or uses oil in it's production, hence it's "the hemoglobin of the economy".

So there will always be more demand. It's the mainstream media that has it backwards: they're the ones always saying peak demand and that's misleading.
