The Star-Advertiser just ran an article about peak oil, using gasoline prices as an example of some of the stark realities ahead of us.
The writer characters a switch to geothermal energy as a “a tough sell, but one that will become easier the first time it costs you $100 to fill up.”
Believers in ‘peak oil’ preparing for when a fill-up costs $100

Hawaii may have only a few electric cars so far, but state law requires large public parking structures to have at least one charging station. As many as 320 of the 2-foot-tall systems are expected to be installed across the state.
It is part of the answer to the looming crisis of peak oil, which is defined as the time when global oil extraction reaches its maximum rate and the rate of extraction declines….
How much does it cost you these days to fill up your car? Leave a comment and let us know.
Thanks to some luck, and some life choices, i don’t have to fill up any vehicle. I was an impressionable young man back in 1991 when the first gulf war brought us “No blood for oil” as a rallying cry. I guess i took it seriously when other folks didn’t. 😐 Then in 2005 Peak oil became obvious, so that’s just another reason.
