General intro?

Is 'peak oil crisis' a common term, or is it half a sentence like 'are we at the peak of the oil crisis?'

[boomshakalaka]

its a pretty well known theory. Ill try and find some links.

theres some stuff here. Mostly this is talking about the formula used to determine when the peak will be, and doesnt talk so much about the 'crisis.'

Supply drops.

Prices rise.

Demand lowers as market shifts to lower fuel usage.

Market delivers alternatives to oil based transport and industry, such as hydrogen power cells and solar.

Profit.

For the record, ive never been worried about the oil running out. I believe in entrepreneurship and the ingenuity of mankind.

Im not saying one or the other is true.. but did you even read the headline?

Cheap Oil to Last, "Doomsday" Fears Overblown, Author Says

Even if the world wont look like Mad Max in 30 years, the fact is that the supply is finite. Gotta get the ball moving on a new infrastructure sooner or later. Sooners probably better.
