Peak Oil? Is it upon us?

Peak oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am starting to read a bit about this now and it seems many believe are very close if not already past peak production. This wouldn't be so scary if there were alternative means of transporting goods across the world but think about how trade and commerce (shipping and transport) all rely almost 100% on oil. We have coal and other ways of producing electricity but you have to have diesel to get coal to power stations, fuel to get uranium out of the ground, to construct a windfarm, etc. Is anyone else starting to believe this like me.
