Other Versions of the Peak Oil Theory

Here are seven websites that discuss peak oil from a variety of perspectives - from the "mainstream" (NY Times and CS Monitor) to the apocalyptic (Die Off). In reading these sites you will be able to get a sense of what lots of people, in addition to Heinberg, are saying about peak oil theory.

The goal for this part of the course is still helping you have a sense of the theory. These sources will help you do that. Please read at least 4 of the following websites, and write an analysis of important overlaps and contradictions between the sites for your blog. You can also use your notes from "End of Suburbia" as a source.
