Well, three things come to mind. First of all the title would be better called "Peak Oil Delayed." Salvation means saved and our goose is still cooked (absent mitigation and preparation) whether the peak would have happened in 2000, today or in 2012.

Second, we ought to be out thank our Russian and Saudi suppliers for really stepping up the last few years. We couldnt have done it (business as usual) without you guys! Keep up the good work (if you still physically can) and nevermind what our politicians and econonomic talking heads say about your regimes and (national) oil companies. You keep suburbia humming!

Third, what about Iraq? Yes, I know its a tattered mess but the oil ain't goin' anywhere. Isn't that country the only one left on earth that can truly boost its production levels (again disregarding the civil war--err, sectarian conflict) to fill the void caused by depletion and our tapped out Russian and Saudi friends?

What did you think America invaded Iraq to spread democracy ?

If anything confirms peak oil its the obvious decision to not only invade Iraq but the fact that our elected leaders regardless of party are willing to stay.

Historians will not realize that at the time the majority of the world did not get it.
