Peak Oil

Here is a link to a blog post by Matthew Wild. He describes what "peak oil" is and the original theory around it. Peak oil is a point in time where we have reached out maximum output of oil, and all the time thereafter the production of oil declines. This is a very relevant and serious issue right now because we are at that point. Very soon we will have to be making decisions about other, more sustainable energy sources because we will have no more gas and oil. It sounds crazy, and maybe not in our lifetime, but our children could see the end of oil and gas. A scary but real thought. It's time to start focusing on renewable sources and making those a priority, instead of trying to find ways to make more oil appear out of the Earth.
