For the past few months, even Car and Driver, an auto enthusiasts' magazine, has been mentioning oil depletion. When worshippers of petroleum acknowledge its end, I'd say that's about as mainstream as you can get.

I told my friends and family, hoping they would begin to prepare. They just basically said, "interesting theory," and didn't seem concerned. However I do see more signs out there--pretty soon everyone will be coming to the same conclusion and I won't want to say 'I told you so.' However, I don't really want EVERYONE else coming to that conclusion right now. That will only precipitate the crash, which I want to put off for as long as possible. I still need more time for our family to prepare, but it is too late now for our government to do anything meaningful to help us transition. I am hoping for another couple years, but I'm not sure that we have that.

I've been hearing the MSM refer to it as supply and demand problems but I have yet to hear the words 'peak oil' spoken by these talking heads.

All of the symptoms are there. The effects are starting but the MSM is not connecting the dots.

Like others have stated, it will take a famous person to say the words. Then that person will have been THE big hero. What insight. Who could have known?.....</sarcasm>

Oprah? HA! I think people like her are aware that there is a possibility that there might be a problem but since it would probably destroy her wealth along with all the big shot's wealth, she would never dream of uttering those words on her show.

What a day it will be when the State of the Union Address has some PO content. As long as it isn't Bush saying it, whereby it would not be taken seriously at all.

When the US medical journal with the widest circulation, JAMA, published this article last October I decided it was mainstream.

Wow Aaron, interesting collection of unattributed quotes... well, except for the last one which will take too long to read so I can't tell if they attributed it or not.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if many of the assorted peak oil related quotes found all over the net originated right here. I mean besides 'zombie hordes', which we all know started right here!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('FreakOil', 'A') lot of educated people in China get it. Having read from other posters what the average American thinks, not just about Peak Oil but environmental issues as well, I'd say people over here are a lot more clued in. However, they still believe that "they" will find a "solution."

PO is definelty a more commonly used term and a lot of people seems to grasp the idea that oil supplies might struggle to keep up.

Wasn't long ago whenever I mentioned oil depletion in the office for instance I would get everyone countering with thunder horse, arctic oil, venezuela etc. Not they just seem to accept that there really is a problem out there and when I assure them shale isn't going to be the saviour they accept it. They are of course still waiting for "someone" to fix the problem, but still it is some sort of progress.

Has it hit mainstream yet? Barely.

Please reflect on the following: We are in a sports car going 120 MPH, driving at night on a winding mountain road covered in black ice. The bridge up ahead is out, and we cannot stop before we plunge to our deaths. The chasm is too broad to jump. So we crank up the music and hit the accelerator as we race toward our future.
