3. To short term to tell

Remember, we will never know peak oil has arrived, only when its past us.. Then its too late..

Interesting graph though..

4. Technically true, although when we factor in the absense of any

major new discoveries of oil, it's hard to imagine any substantial increases for the future. Alternative oil sources would only come on-line to the extent that they replace short-falls of cheap oil, so I would also not expect any exotic sources like shale-oil, FT, etc, to produce an upward slope.

5. Good catch - as others have noted, a little short in timescale

But even so, very interesting. :toast:
