Peak oil now that's a blast from the past. It was all the rage 6 or 7 years ago I guess it turned out to be bunk (for now).

peak oil is definitely going to happen, the only question is when. and it's fundamentally impossible to reliably guess when, since your predictions obviously can't account for stuff that hasn't been discovered yet

the reason people cared a few years ago was because gas prices were high. as soon as prices dropped again, fingers went back into ears

oil reserves turned out to be slightly larger than expected, and fracking has had a big impact as well. but peak oil is probably still lurking just over the horizon
