Reasons to Doubt "Peak Oil"
1) Oil fields can recharge or refill.
2) Oil may have an abiotic source.
3) There has not been enough true "formerly living matter" through all of creation to account for the volume of petroleum that has been consumed to date.
4) Oil was made to be thought a "Fossil" fuel by oil producers to create the concept that oil was of limited supply and therefore extremely valuable.
Sources: here and here.
I have to admit to being very conflicted about Peak Oil. Both arguments seem rather convincing, although right now I am leaning against Peak Oil-- and thinking that it is a scam to get more money for the oil industry.

What's ugliest about "Peak Oil" is the link to "population reduction."
People have managed to live on a lot less than the average american throughout all but the last split second of history and still today in over 95% of households worldwide.
These people have not resorted to cannibalism. Because that is the only word for starting to kill people in reaction to perceived scarcity, or even having to floor the SUV less often.
So peak oil is a red herring. It actually doesn't matter that much. Life can go on whether it's peaking or not. Even if it is peaking, it's probably just in time to prevent america killing itself from obesity.
it's another distraction issue they've thrown out to confuse and to make corrupt profits on.
It's easy to be conflicted about peak oil because surprise, for a long time the alternative community has been advocating going easy on the resources and all of a sudden it's coming from oily plutocrats.
What's most suspicious is the timing of course, right on time to "justify" wars on the oil fields. And remember how gasoline dropped to 80 cents a gallon after 9/11? Is somebody in the know cleaning up in the futures markets?
