Governments in the U.S. Prepare for Peak Oil

Here are links to this and other reports, plus articles that interpret them.
"GAO Report: Strategy Needed to Address Future Peak in Oil Production" in the April 4, 2007, issue of EERE Network News, a publication of the Department of Energy.
"Crude Oil: Uncertainty about Future Oil Supply Makes It Important to Develop a Strategy for Addressing a Peak and Decline in Oil Production," GAO-07-283, published February 28, 2007. This is the actual 82-page GAO report, with highlights in a sidebar.
A 2004 report, "Long-Term World Oil Supply Scenarios," by the U.S. Energy Information Administration of the Department of Energy.
"EIA Examines the Long-Term Longevity of Petroleum" in a 2004 issue of EERE Network News discusses the above report from the EIA.
Portland is energetically pursuing ways to be prepared for a decline in available oil. "Descending the Oil Peak: Navigating the Transition from Oil and Natural Gas" is an 86-page report of the City of Portland's Peak Oil Task Force, published in March, 2007.
