"By the way, has anybody else been suffering from Peak Oil fatigue?"

Hit it a long time ago. Basically coming to the conclusion that we're fucked and we'd better enjoy things while we're still not eating one another. I see a glimmer of hope here and there, but nothing substantial enough to warrant any real optimism of the future. Gas falls $2/gal and people stop asking questions, start buying SUV's again...we're surrounded by buildings which require an operational forced air circulation and cooling - no windows that open. People aren't even aware that they exist in the environment. All of our decisions over the past 50 years, in particular, have sealed our fate. There was likely an opportunity in the 70's to turn things in a better direction and it didn't happen. I believe there's still a chance, but it would require basically every single person knowing about, and acknowledging, then moving to act on the multiple threats we face. This basically boils down to limiting and reducing population, giving a whole bunch of things up, and doing almost everything we do differently. Thusly, we're doomed. We're in this predicament for a reason and I doubt that reason has or can change.
