As if oil depletion wasn’t scary enough, now comes news of Peak Coal. According to the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, a peaking of all oil and natural gas will come as soon as 2010. Now we have a detailed report that US, Chinese and global coal production could all maximize by 2020 (see http://globalpublicmedia.com/museletter179). Since these three fossil fuels represent over 87 percent of total world energy, Peak Energy is really just a few short years ahead, probably between 2010 and 2020.
