That's probably true, but I don't think that's a reason not to make investment in renewables a major priority right now; I don't really see any other option. When the peak oil hits, we'll be better off for having invested, at least collectively speaking.
On the question of "economic systems" I don't think there is much choice: peak oil is likely to force some fundamental changes whether we want them or not. There isn't much we can do about that than sit and watch it happen.
Some folks are taking personal initiative by moving out of the suburbs and onto farms right now; I sure hope that's an overreaction
