I challenge anyone to watch this video and not be convinced that Peak Oil is just a lot of hooey! It's just 4 minutes, but puts it all in a nut shell! YouTube

We've heard this before, and then we discover more. Yes, we're energy hogs and need to find viable alternatives, which are numerous.
how can anyone decide how much oil exists under the planet's surface? it's the same doom and gloom "oil shortage" of the 1970s - which, like today, was a public scare tactic to raise prices.
Does this estimate take into consideration unproven reserves in the South China Sea or just current proven global reserves?

Seriously though you're right, which is why I fear for the planet that there are people like this on it.

all the intelligent people , including the educated oil executives and financiers are aware of
the imminence of peak oil ,
in fact they have been dropping hints the size of houses for a few years now
they are not the problem , 7 billions consumers are the problem
Peak oil warning are like earthquake warnings , panicking the good folks is not useful at all
and there is NOTHING which can be done
anyway the first step is denial , it will last well into the decline ,
then is anger , not very useful either
as for the shape of society post peak oil ,
well if we use coal we go back to the coal age ... steam engine and 19th century working condition
if we go back to the sustainable wood burning age ....middle ages and feudal system
the population numbers will naturally adjust itself to the new level ,
A sudden crash a la mad max is most unlikely , though not impossible in some regions
