After Peak Oil

Can Western society on the whole not panic when oil supplies start diminishing? Here's an article, After Peak Oil.

I just powered through this book, and it was well worth the money. Dyer's book on the Iraq war is very analytical, quite objective, and gets to the heart of the matter.
