Uh, while Peak Oil's proponents have done the world a disservice with their immanent apocalypse scenarios, oil will not last thousands of years if we continue to use it at anything near the present rate. And if we continue to ignore this fact and under-develop alternatives then we won't be prepared when supplies really do drop off. Having said that, I don't intend to get too worried until the $2 shops and Red Dot stores run out of plastic crap to sell. C(K)J.
