The peak oil crisis: transiting to transit
Tom Whipple , Falls Church News-Press
With crude oil now above $120 a barrel and threatening to go higher, it is clear that our preferred and convenient means of going places, our car, the airplane and the rental car soon are going to be parked because they will be too expensive to operate.

Preparing for which future?
John Michael Greer, The Archdruid Report
As the age of cheap abundant energy comes to its end, making meaningful plans for the future depends on a vision of the future we can expect. Many of the supposed answers to the challenge of peak oil, however, have been proposed in response to many other crises, real and imaginary. How much of our thinking about the future is defined by the attempt to find plausible problems for culturally favored solutions to solve?

The U. S. electric grid: will it be our undoing?
Gail E. Tverberg, The Oil Drum
Many believe that a decline in oil production can be remedied by increasing our use of electricity - more nuclear, wind, solar voltaic, geothermal or even coal. This model assumes that our electric grid will be working well enough for this to happen. There is substantial doubt that this will be the case.

Ignoring the elephant in the room
Dave Cohen, ASPO-USA / Energy Bulletin
The disconnect between peak oil concerns and the presidential race is almost total. The candidates remain unwaveringly oblivious to the true causes of rising fuel prices, preferring instead to dwell on irrelevant — actually, counterproductive—measures like suspending the federal gas tax during the summer months or taxing Big Oil. This is akin to putting a band-aid on a melanoma.
