I didn't see this posted anywhere else, so I'm starting this thread. I'm putting it here, since it is actually not news, but rather a social milestone in my opinion to have a such a blunt PO article in a respected magazine like National Geographic.
The article does an amazing job in five pages of laying the foundation for someone to approach the idea of PO. The graphs are excellent, a derivation of Hubbert's curve with possible decline scenarios, as well as a chart showing oil discovery decline.
Here is the link to the text, but I believe the charts are only available in the print edition.
