Great topic, Zenmaster. I've been following the peak oil discussion for about a year and you've provided some sources I hadn't seen yet.
My attempt at connecting the dots, leads me to conclude that US interference with Venezuela and Iraq, politely not noticing that most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi's, and opening ANWR for oil drilling are all directly related to our inability to support our oil demand. The exploding economies of China and India are guaranteed to speed up the process that Hubbert predicted.
It is not a matter of *if* suburbia will no longer be able to sustain itself, but *when*.
