We might have lots of oil (albeit lower quality), coal, stranded gas, solar, ethanol, etc left. But once society 'gets it' that net energy for humankind circa 2000 AD has peaked, the rules of the current game will change.

That's one thing I have noted, though. One big difference between Peak Lite and Peak is the panic that will accompany Peak.

panic will follow both peak-lite and peak.
large amounts of people basically have two modes, complacency and panic. we are in the former right now as people just accept the prices and whats going on with the government. they will switch over to panic once we reach the threshold.
as for the threshold? your guess is as good as mine.

Call me crazy,
but I think the government is already pumping the propaganda machine to condition the next generation into accepting a life withour suburbia:

It's meant for 5 year olds. The clear messages of the recently released "Over the Hedge" movie (warning plot killer --if you can call it a "plot") is that:

  1. Suburbia is evil
  2. Consumerism is evil
  3. The Bears will control the markets
  4. Listening to the conservative reptile (turtle) is better than giving an ear to a wild eyed cornucopian (the racoon)
  5. We will be happier sticking with "family" values rather than wanting to accumulate massive quantities of processed food for our selfish bear caves.

Am I seeing too many mixed messages in this kid's eye movie?

This is a message from the same media elite that is bringing us "an inconvenient truth."  Our government seems to shy away from truths.
