Here's the money quote from the beginning of the article
"The peak of world production is only ten to fifteen years away.
The peak of U.S. production is in the past.
Reserves have been overstated by as much as 90%.
There are serious implications for our entire way of life.
And the media are still reporting that there will be abundant supplies for another 150 years, 200 years, or more.
I'm talking about oil, right? Nope.
I'm talking about coal. That's right, coal. The next great hope for fossil fuels."
Obviously, there will still be enough of the stuff to put into a stove but we are running out of it for
net energy at a higher rate than most of us would think. Pretty thought provoking.
Here's another article saying basically the same thing.
