I only became aware of peak oil May of this year. But since then have been tracking oil production and devouring all the information I can find related to this issue.
If you`re unfamiliar with peak oil, here`s the Wiki page: Peak oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With oil now over $90/barrel, world production flat for about three years, and the Energy Watch Group`s recent report coming out claiming we peaked in 2006, I`m getting more concerned this has already happened or will happen soon.
Hopefully they`re wrong and we still have some good years left. Regardless, just about everyone involved in oil agrees we will peak, they just don`t agree on the when.
