Paul Roberts, author of The End of Oil, has an excellent survey article on the current oil situation in National Geographic, titled Tapped Out. It’s too long and detailed for me to do it justice with quotes, so I urge you to hit the link above and read it in its entirety.

Roberts is one of the authors I trust (despite the sensationalism in his book title), and in this piece he provides a very balanced but sobering summary of where we stand with oil, and why the age of cheap oil is over.

Please send a link to his article to your friends and relatives. This kind of mainstream-friendly treatment can’t get enough attention.
