This month marks the fourth anniversary of now-globally famous commentator Tom Whipple’s “Peak Oil Crisis” column that originated with and has been published weekly exclusively in the Falls Church News-Press, the Washington D.C. area’s most progressive newspaper.

As the owner and editor of the News-Press, this writer invited Whipple to expound his views on the “peak oil” crisis following a lengthy discussion with him on the subject over lunch. On April 28, 2005, he wrote what was supposed to be the first of a two-part series on the matter, entitled, “Why the World Will Never Be the Same.”
