Peak Oil and Dire Consequences

Peak Oil and Dire Consequences
We're in for some radical changes in our lifestyles, says this article in The American Conservative. The age of cheap energy -- and with it, the age of commuting (in automobiles), agribusiness, and anything else that depends on cheap transportation -- is over. I haven't been able to get the piece out of my mind since reading it yesterday, so I thought I'd submit it to the attention of the Mises blog and see what readers think, especially those who know more about natural resource depletion than I do (and that would be just about anyone).
