What Peak Oil Could Look Like

Obviously folks here aren't discussing peak oil much nowadays, all of has having survived both the fear mongering early in the century, the big let down as the US became the world's largest oil and gas producer much to the chagrin of the "experts" in the field, and being 4 years past the most recent one. I won't detail the claimed visions of what it was supposed to look like, everyone has seen me reference those hopes and dreams regularly, but I found this story this morning and thought to myself...now this....THIS might be what peak oil looks like. Cuba might have been another example, when the USSR cut them off way back when, but this example is current, and happening today, and no one has mentioned it. A relatively unimportant country, much like Cuba, but it might be safe to say that when these consequences arrive in the developed world, and won't go away, the peak oilers might finally be able to declare a belated victory.
