So I was out for dinner and the topic of Peak Oil came up...

I had no idea....

I am researching it now, and would appreciate some DU info, links, version for dummies etc.

4. one of the best sites on the financial/oil inter-relationships

that are integral to PO is run by Mike Ruppert. Try to see his lecture "The Truth and Lies of 911" and let your friends see it too - available on DVD on his site and he has just made a follow up.

Mike Ruppert joins a lot of dots.

5. Do You Really Want To Take The Red Pill?

Rent 'End of Suburbia' DVD. Entertaining and informative.

I also highly recommend the following books:

"The Party's Over" by Richard Heinberg - Good overview on 'peak oil'/overshoot.

"Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive" by Jared Diamond - It's happened before (resource depletion/overshoot/mismanagement), it will happen again.

6. There's a lot of discussion in the Environment/Energy forum

Environment/Energy forum
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=115

It's discussed in the threads quite a bit,
even if it doesn't appear in the subject line.
For example,

"If It Graphs Like A Plateau . . ."
