Oil extraction from wells will be physically unable to meet global demand (the evidence is from the oil industry itself). Alternative energy sources like nuclear and natural gas will fall far short of compensating for expected shortages of oil. There is simply not enough time to convert over to them. Massive disruptions to transportation and the economy are expected from about 2005-2007 onward as the global decline of petroleum begins.

We envision a country where the population is distributed in small communities that are sustainable, diverse and culturally sophisticated.
Peak Oil: A list of peak oil news articles, books, and web sites
The society you live in is highly dependent on cheap energy. As we reach the oil production peak within the next few years, the price of petroleum is going to rise considerably. Your lifestyle will be affected. How will you adapt? (See my related lists on Sustainability and What To Do.)
Iraq and the Problem of Peak Oil
Today, much of the world is convinced the Bush Administration did not wage war against Iraq and Saddam Hussein because of threat from weapons of mass destruction, nor from terror dangers. Still a puzzle, however, is why Washington would risk so much in terms of relations with its allies and the entire world, to occupy Iraq. There is compelling evidence that oil and geopolitics lie at the heart of the still-hidden reasons for the military action in Iraq.

Aljazeera.Net - US report acknowledges peak-oil threat
It has long been denied that the US government bases any policy around the idea that global oil production may be in terminal decline.
But a new US government-sponsored report, obtained by Aljazeera.net, does exactly that.
ASPO the Association for the Study of Peak Oil
Work proceeds in updating the depletion model. It is less than an exact science to try to spot the anomalies in the data and to formulate realistic forecasts. It is an ongoing process, with the current status being reported. The present model departs from earlier ones in recognition that the Middle East no longer has sufficient spare capacity to discharge a swing role. A volatile epoch of recurring price shocks and consequential recessions dampening demand and price is now regarded as more likely, with terminal decline setting in and becoming self-evident by about 2010. The flat-earth detractors will relish pointing out that the estimates change, but others may take it as progress.

Peak Oil Action
We are dedicated to raising awareness about peak oil and the coming decline in oil production, the consequences of this decline and the actions that can be taken.
Surviving Peak Oil
Unprecedented warnings from the scientific community indicate that the planet's ecosystems are stressed near the point of collapse; business as usual is no longer possible, and we have little time left to respond. Civilization is also approaching a nexus of social crises. All of these problems result from the nature of our existing economic system, and we cannot expect solutions from political leaders or corporations.

What is Peak Oil?
Peak Oil is the simplest label for the problem of energy resource depletion, or more specifically, the peak in global oil production. Oil is a finite, non-renewable resource, one that has powered phenomenal economic and population growth over the last century and a half.

Peak Oil: Life After the Oil Crash
Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. This is not the wacky proclamation of a doomsday cult, apocalypse bible prophecy sect, or conspiracy theory society. Rather, it is the scientific conclusion of the best paid, most widely-respected geologists, physicists, and investment bankers in the world. These are rational, professional, conservative individuals who are absolutely terrified by a phenomenon known as global "Peak Oil."
