Most oil executives have been perfectly well aware of the situation for a long, long time. It's politicians and their public that doesn't have a clue.

the pols are the ones guarding the bridge of understanding from the awakening plebs, while the fat cats make a getaway with the loot...

bla bla serious commitment...bla bla...time for action, not words, bla bla,

meanwhile continuing suicidal policies that perpetuate the status quo, till the last drop is squeezed...

ignorance is impotence...

At least some politicians are peak oil aware, including the foreign minister of Sweden.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Oops, kind of like, if Mobutu was trying to run away from Congo ex-Zaire and found that everywhere was in the same utter shambles that Zaire was in.
