Peak Oil is so trendy!!!

Evidence that car-driving auto-holics might be changing their ways is thin on the ground, with 'sitting in traffic' still considered socially acceptable behaviour in some circles. When will they learn?

We all know that Peak Oil has something to do with a bell end shaped curve, but what of public knowledge of the subject? Where are we on that curve, and what shape is it? Are more people wanting to know about it or is it complete denial? Who knows, however, if 'Google Trends' (keywords: 'Peak Oil') is to be believed, then it seems as if people are learning, even if their media is not big on the informing and educating.

Since there is no news today, you might enjoy reading a few cheery short stories regarding the post oil world. Seems some folk are looking forward to it all, see competition winning tales at:

Maybe running out of oil is no bad thing, but just yet?

Nobody imagined that 200 mpg would become possible so easily:

Does that change everything?

(The 'Inventors Statement' is a good starting point on what is going on here. Review of the new 200mpg option:  http://www.bikebiz.co.uk/daily-news/article.php?id=6639)
