Peak Caviar

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

Don’t believe in peak oil? Well how about Peak Caviar? I was skeptical, but this artical is very well researched and based on actual factual data collected in the field. Peak Caviar was about 1980. Since then the catch has fallen off substantially to the point where last year Russia prohibited selling Sturgeon caviar to try to restock the fish. The price went crazy. It is the old question, what price would you charge for something if you knew it was the last XX in the world? As much as you could get. Because the party is over. The charts of peak Caviar look much like the charts of oil. Now I think we will have a bit longer than the fish to go before we run out, but 20 years is not that long and the decline was STEEP.
Believe it. Peak Oil is here.
