Peak Oil to date has been a concept and something very hard to pin down due to the possibility of new resources being discovered.

According to Chelsea Green and The Oil Drum, concept is now a reality, and now is the time to start living in the real world.
‘This energy transition can happen gracefully with fore-thought and planning, or, if we continue to consume energy at our current rate, the transition will be brought about faster and meaner than home redecoration by Blackwater.’
Of course every ‘environmentalist’ will jump on this immediately as proof that the transition is now an immediate concern and every ‘global warming denier’ (dont you just love these tags) will pull up a million other facts to try and counter the argument as though they were all defending their own children.
