Thanks for explaining more, Toby. As usual it makes sense. For a minute I
was afraid you had been infected with doomerism!

Over the last few years, much writing and research has appeared that answers
these questions.
For me, the best summary of Peak Oil has been in Richard Heinberg's books:
"The Party's Over" and "Powerdown". Heinberg teaches human ecology and is a
permaculture ally.
