Mos is frustrated and angry because Peak caused the Greatest Depression.
Mos (like most here and everyone elsewhere) was not really ready for the financial meltdown, and has no idea how to deal with the coming social breakdown. His last intellectual refuge an panacea (Permaculture) has lately been called into question (by yours truly among others) and the stress has grown to intense. I actually like him. He was bright.
He will not be back when oil again briefly hits $150 again. He won't have time because the internet will shut down for lack of income.
I hope I have a dime for everyone who says oil won't hit $100, $150, or even $300.
It will hit $500, just give it time. However by then those $500 will be worth less than $100 now.
Anyway, the PTB are playing a game (PO) that actually has no solution, or at least no solution that will maintain BAU. I'm already expecting a second financial meltdown this fall, which fortunately, will not hit your 401k anything like it did in 2008. However bond holders, especially state bond holders, will be having regrets.
I have no quarrel with Mos as a person, so best regards if you don't make it back.
