I know you don't like this. But I belive they are correct. You need to start 20 (or more realistically in the real world 30-40) years ahead of time, I just don't see market forces having that kind of advance planning. Plus I belive the problem will require absolutely staggering funds, much more so than any private corporation can put up. Remember, you need to rebuild a lot of the current infrastructure.

If you think Chevron et. al. aren't already planning for peak oil, you don't know what you're talking about.

They may very well do. But if they do, it's not showing very much, is it? Again, remember that preparations should start decades before the fact.
So, if I don't know what I'm talking about, please show me some evidence that "they" really are planning for a large scale switch to alternative energy in the near future, for the entire USA / world. I don't see it.
