A Peek at Peak Oil

Hour.ca – We have grown up with the idea that there will always be enough, in some instances more, though deep down we know nothing lasts forever. That is the message of Peak Oil: We are close to the point where the increase in available oil will halt, and after that forever decline. That will be the end of the first half of the Age of Oil.

These days everyone talks about rising oil prices. Given the credentials of the scientists loosely gathered under the banner of Peak Oil, it’s sort of bewildering to see how little serious attention they get in the political arena and mainstream media. Instead, we hear “experts” talking about price gouging, political instabilities, the need for more drilling and refining capacity, all temporary things that can and will be solved “soon.” Peak Oil says the problem is not a transient one.
