The optimum strategy at this point is:

Start sulphurization flights immediately.
Start rationing oil immediately.
Start building fission-fusion plants immediately(www.yottawatts.net).

Develop and implement methods of burning off clathrate deposits without releasing the methane.
Develop and implement Pure fusion plants like Steinhaus's mini-mike.
Develop and implement Heat resistant GM crops.
Develop and implement carbon fixing wind turbines.

what does any of that have to do with peak oil?

Solar is rapidly becoming cheaper than nuclear in areas with decent insolation, so barring some fusion breakthrough I'd go for something that doesn't leave a huge cost for decommissioning.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')Warren Buffett’s Nevada utility has lined up what may be the cheapest electricity in the U.S., and it’s from a solar farm.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s NV Energy agreed to pay 3.87 cents a kilowatt-hour for power from a 100-megawatt project that First Solar Inc. is developing, according to a filing with regulators.

That’s a bargain. Last year the utility was paying 13.77 cents a kilowatt-hour for renewable energy. The rapid decline is a sign that solar energy is becoming a mainstream technology with fewer perceived risks. It’s also related to the 70 percent plunge in the price of panels since 2010, and the fact that the project will be built in Nevada, the third-sunniest state.

“That’s probably the cheapest PPA I’ve ever seen in the U.S.,” Kit Konolige, a utility analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence in New York, said Tuesday. “It helps a lot that they’re in the Southwest when there’s good sun.”

The power-purchase agreement for energy from First Solar’s Playa Solar 2 project was the cheapest offered to NV Energy this year for new power plants. The utility also agreed to pay 4.6 cents a kilowatt-hour for power from SunPower Corp.’s 100-megawatt Boulder Solar project, the best price offered last year.

We need something much cheaper than both solar and current fission plants. We need something that is cheap enough that we can literally convert electricity into fuels. Fission-Fusion is the only technology that can produce that sort of energy return without further research.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'D')avep, these kinds of discussions (which are rife these days on peakoil.com) always start with an erroneous assumption: that we can jump-start an EV infrastructure. But that is not possible as we lack necessary time, money and political will. It's been argued we don't even have enough stored energy for such a construction project.

The point I am trying to make really is that are technologies that could save us from peak oil/climate change if only there was political will to implement them.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tikib', 'I') would eradiate the seeds to increase the mutation rate then grow them in a high temperature environment and keep the survivors. And repeat slowly increasing the temperature. You would want to do it with the cereal plant that can survive high temperatures best already really.
After every generation you would want to send the best performing variants to replace the crops of those suffering most from climate change.
