The difference between the 70's doomsayers and now is that this is the real thing. We've had 30 years to make changes and we blew it.

I have said all along that wind power has the greatest potential and the highest EROEI ratio of all the renewable energy systems, but it's past time to start scaling it up. Realistically, at this point no efforts can make more than a dent. Dick Cheney knew that.

Cheney based our entire energy policy on peak oil back at his energy task force meetings in March 2001. Cheney has also fought tooth and nail for 3 and a half years to keep the details of those meetings private, almost certainly because they revealed concrete plans to invade Iraq:
