I've been dabbling in enviro science recently, mainly in topics pertaining to oil depletion etc. From what I understand, the conventional oil production and the public discourse on natural resources reached their climax in mid 2000s before GFC, but then they magically vanished for some reason. Does any anon know why?
I know there has been a shale revolution in US and thanks to technology improvements we kicked the can down the road a bit further, but obviously a finite resource that is constantly being extracted has to end at some point (or rather become unaffordable for further extraction due to declining EROEI). The idea itself that finite resources will end one day is quite universal and rather uncontroversial, so where did this conversation go?
