Unfortunately, I concur with everythin cj just said.
Mr. Turon is missing several critical insights that cj just mentioned, and is not accounting for the time it takes to get off of oil.
The 2005 Department of Energy Report (now known as the Hirsch Report, after its lead author) points out that we needed to start *at least* twenty years before reaching peak to have the hope of a soft landing. See http://www.acus.org/docs/051007-hirsch_w... (PDF warning).
Please, get your facts straight and start getting people ready for a future with very, very expensive energy.
