Great quote on Peak Oil

I found this post in response to an article in the New York Times by John Tierney, Are Carbon Cuts Just a Fantasy?"

"By Mid Century our fossil fuel resources are going to be so incredibly depleted and our population so large that we cannot afford to wait to invest in renewable technologies and conservation. This is regardless of whether we do anything about climate. The denial involved in ignoring the dysfunctional nature of our relationship with fossil fuels is astounding. When oil has risen for 5 straight years and the best new projects that we can come up with involve burning corn in our gas tanks, digging up tar in Alberta, or drilling into 8000 ft of water and 20,000 more of rock in the gulf of Mexico, we have a big big problem.
