OT but did anyone else see (and refer to) this article in USA Today.  It was on the front page of the version of the paper I saw earlier today.

Debate brews: Has oil production peaked?

By David J. Lynch, USA TODAY

Almost since the dawn of the oil age, people have worried about the taps running dry. So far, the worrywarts have been wrong. Oil men from John D. Rockefeller to T. Boone Pickens always manage to find new gushers.

Interesting that the author chose Peak Oil Beliver, Boone Pickens, as an example in this context.

Wow!  Just yesterday, I was marveling at the fact that the Heinberg/Kunstler/Ruppert pessimism had gone mainstream in Great Britain:

I wondered at the time how long it would take for that development to occur in the States.  Even with the Simmons factor that's at work here, I figured on waiting months.  Now, here it is in the States too - only a day later!  (I had forgotten about the Pickens factor; he is one of the big boys, after all.)
