peak oil, from How to Save the World

I've started to follow Dave Pollard's blog "How to Save the World", and recently read his posting on peak oil.

I see in Dave's post another voice making the point that our political will, or at least the will of the conventionally thinking political leadership, is lacking on the topic of our energy future.

Having said that, recently I've seen more posts and articles suggesting that leaders in business and venture capital are giving more weight to green approaches in their decision making. And consumer products are also at least providing more green material in their marketing. Perhaps the political "leadership" will have to catch up one of these days...

For example, Ethan Zuckerman reports from the TED conference that John Doerr is very focused on climate change.
