Localized way of life cuts demand for oil

Peak oil is here and the U.S. is unprepared.

This is my opinion and the opinion of Eugene Linden in his article “From Peak Oil to Dark Age” in a recent edition of Business Week. Recently, the online “Drudge Report” posted an excerpt from a story critical of British Petroleum’s optimistic Statistical Review of World Energy. In other words, the idea of a diminishing world supply of oil combined with increasing demand is suddenly mainstream.
