It must be the apocalypse. Slap my ass and call me Shirley. CNN put out an article on peak oil. I like how it just glazes over the concerns and puts out the silly industry rebuttals...but there it is.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- At some point in the near future, worldwide oil production will peak, then decline rapidly, causing depression-like conditions or even the starvation of billions across the globe.
That's the worst-case scenario for subscribers to the "peak oil" theory, who generally believe oil production has either topped out or will do so in the next couple of years.
A small but growing group of experts think oil production will peak in the next few years, then decline rapidly. The result could be worse than the Great Depression.
Special Reportfull coverage
Colleges around the country are getting in on the green movement by starting campus recycling programs and using solar powered energy.
What follows depends on who one talks to, but predictions run the gamut from the disaster scenario described above to merely oil prices in the $200-a-barrel range while society transitions to other energy sources.
It's not a view held by most industry experts, including the oil companies, the government and most analysts at the financial houses.

"Leave Shirley out of it!"
The message has become credible. It's been fascinating to watch it happen.
Soon it will grow from "credible" to "mainstream" then to full blown "crisis" and that's when all the trends go haywire. (what is coming is so unpredictable . . . thus all the crystal-ball gazing around this place).
Let me tell you what happens right after it goes "mainstream acceptance": The crisis will unfold by the US losing its imports.
Some probable future quotes:
"No more glut for american consumers"
"Save our oil for our future. The US has had more than their share."
"no more dollars, save the oil"
"Let them burn their own oil."
"Six percent for six percent! No more glut! . . . Six percent for six percent! No more glut! . . . "
Here it comes.

Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.
Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

Peak oil in the Mainstream media today - well CNN online at least. Too bad CNN didn't provide a few web links for any readers that would like to learn more.

That would be redundant as anyone accessing CNN-Online knows how to preform a search and learn more than they probably really want to know.

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
