Yahoo group on Peak Oil

There are dozens of such mailing list groups, but this Yahoo! group is the largest and one of the oldest. The introduction states:

It is possible that the peak is upon us, the beginning of a plateau period before a perhaps steep decline in world oil and gas production...

The ability of alternative sources of energy to substitute for petroleum and natural gas is a subject of serious dispute.

So it seems the days of cheap oil are numbered. How this future will play out remains to be seen, but energy scarcities could bring major economic dislocations, food shortages, fighting over resources, and (literally) billions of human deaths.
