What are the time tables for other natural resources to peak?

As for nuclear fuels, the projections for extending their life aren't based on "the latest technology," which makes it sound as if it's a new, flash-in-the-pan, unproven idea. They're based on mature, proven technology that's been in use for about 50 years. The first power reactor in the United States was a breeder reactor, the type that extends the nuclear fuel supply well beyond just the once-through use of uranium-235. Nothing new needs to be researched or developed to put everything in place to create a longer-term nuclear power scenario. It's merely a matter of political will and the underlying factors that can generate that will.

This thread has been suprisingly quiet given all the posts about overshoot and how we just hit another limit if not oil yada dada. Easier to do qualitative arm waving than give dates.

Coal peak projections:
Hubbert Model Peak 2032
EIA, Annual Energy Outlook 2004 Peak 2060
Flat gas consumption and greater coal consumption Peak 2053
Flat gas consumption and synfuels from coal to replace oil Peak 2035

At current rate. Sooner if we shift more to coal or coal to liquids.

Coal's URR will probably be larger than cumulative production + proved reserves, so using the one trillion ton figure will result in too early a peak. Does anyone have info on coal reserves over time? It is probably moot anyway since carbon emissions are more likely to limit coal use than resources, but interesting nonetheless.
