I'm afraid that was hardly a debunking of peak oil.  It was just an
alternative obscure theory.  It would be much more constructive to use
standard accepted opinions of scientists to debunk peak oil.  This is quite
easy to do.  My two favorite lines of reasoning are that we still have
massive reserves of coal, and that we can easily ramp up nuclear.  You will
notice that many small nuclear power plants are in the planning stages in
the US after decades of stagnation.  What makes peak oil especially poor in
my mind is that they also throw in conspiracy theories and financial models
that most experts would strongly disagree with.  There are plenty of google
hits for peak oil debunking that are better than the one you supplied.
