An article appeared yesterday which examines media coverage of Peak Oil (including this week’s exchange in the New York Times).

The author’s central point is:
"The fact is that if the Peak Oil proponents are correct, it amounts to one of the biggest stories of our time, right up there with global warming."

As the link below indicates, some of the most progressive mainstream coverage of PO is coming from the UK.
Brits are now awakening to the brevity of oil, having gone from importers to major suppliers and now to net importers, all within 40 years, half a human lifetime.
Same with natural gas, I believe.
