There is this (by now retired) managers coach Steven Covey who I just recently was able to listen to (his 7 habits series).
The first thing that struck me was that he builds his reasoning on an outer and an inner circle. The outer one being the circle of concern (no influence) the inner one where your ability is to re-act or in his words where you are being response - able !
In other words: Fuggedabout PeakOil since it is out of your hands in the first place and focus on the means that you are given, as small as they might seem.
PO will happen, sure, but there is nothing that you can do about it and the last thing you want to do is build your lost case on it (we already have our lawyer here doing exactely that).
