INTRODUCTION

Peak oil is the point in time at which the maximum global petroleum production rate is reached, after which the rate of production enters its terminal decline. If global consumption is not mitigated before the peak, the availability of conventional oil will drop and prices will rise, perhaps dramatically.

Well, it seems that we are indeed arriving at the point of Peak Oil. What does this mean, what should we be doing about it and how should we be preparing for this? Whilst we're developing our own information pages on Peak Oil, we suggest some careful background reading and film watching.
