[sustran] Peak oil and sustainable transportation

[chuwa]

Sorry if this is off-topic. 

I chanced upon into this article "Life After the Oil Crash" http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/, which talks about the inevitable impact of "Peak Oil" effect. It give me a new sense of urgency to switch to (energy) sustainable way of living, including mode of transportation. 

The author suggested, big oil companies and automotive related industries are "desperate" to find means to continue their unsustainable business model. Sooner or later, the hard limit (Peak Oil) will hit and there will be no escape. Quick switch over to sustainable transportation should help to soften the negative of "Peak Oil". Ironical but may be true, giving up automotive industry can help to extend the life of oil companies.
