"I cannot reconcile these points. Either there's reason to believe peak won't be so bad (doubtful) or that Cheney has a plan (maybe, but what?)." Plan? How about if/when the decline toward a sustainable population begins, make sure the "right" people survive to pass on their genes. That will require the maintenance (probably ruthless) of some kind of heirarchical structure. Power will be concentrated into fewer and fewer hands (as has been happening already). The lower rungs will be those who have blind devotion to the wingnut mindset. They're being brainwashed by the media as represented by fauxnews and limbaugh now and will be pushed into militancy. Oil will not go to zero but what's left will become increasingly sequestered. It will still be very useful even in a depopulated world. War in Iraq has already sequestered the oil there. You can't use it if you can't get to it without being blown up. Russia seems to be taking steps to make sure their oil remains, for the most part, in Russia. Whatever the cheneys of this world are planning, there's not much chance of it working but one thing's apparent...they're practically in a panic over the situation.
