The term Peak Oil is one that seems mysterious to most of us... as we really don't know what it means.
So lets ask... what is it? and lets answer... Peak Oil means that the world has reached beyond the half-way point for oil production...we have peaked our production and can't expect oil to last... There is truly an energy crisis coming, one that will come not because OPEC has turned off their deliveries...but one that comes because the world supply of oil is on a rapidly declining ramp.
This is why we need to develop alternative energy at a much faster rate then we have been, and why we need to improve mechanical performance for biofuel burning engines (you know, those engines that are using bio-diesel and gas with bio fuel additives) as these fuels do not burn as efficiently as petro-based fuels.Peak Oil... that is the term that means we are running out of time. Really that simple.
