14. Not an effective retort.
I am not a petrochemical engineer, so I can't comment technically on the veracity of peak oil theory. I do know, though, that there is extensive writing of arguments supporting the idea that peak oil is coming or actually here now.

You can't make an effective argument by saying, "Oh, you're behind the curve," because the arguments are current and numerous.

If they are indeed wrong, which may be possible, then you have to cite some convincing arguments and evidence to that effect.
