Oil Peak

Oohboy.
I found this link on fark.com, which reads (in part):

Quote:
Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. This is not the wacky conclusion of a religious cult, but rather the result of diligent analysis sourced by hard data and the scientists who study global “Peak Oil” and related geo-political events.
I read the whole article.

I am now shaking in my boots.

Tonight I am going to call my mom (a former oil company engineer) and ask her about this.

But I couldn't find any logical errors in his reasoning.

Oh, shit.
