The era of oil is coming to an end, with global oil production set to halve in the next five to six years. To avoid a global economic slump, the transition to 100% renewables worldwide needs to be accelerated. It is feasible and cheaper than the current system, research shows.

What are you talking about according to all the experts from the 70s we ran out of oil decades ago. 

And I get it. I'd like to see more of it. I actually just bought a bike personally, and I'm trying to find excuses to use it.
I just think that one of the reasons that people haven't remade their lives to be more bike-friendly is because it's always going to be a niche. I think a lot of cyclists get into the "true believer cult" mode and think it's going to be a lot bigger than reality will support...
Just my $0.02... But I'm a cynical asshole.

I think autonomous vehicles will dramatically remake the transportation landscape. And I don't know how that will impact bicycles, specifically. It probably won't impact my working life much, but I suspect it will be big for my kids.

I agree that there are many zealots who see bigger changes than are reasonable to expect, but people on the fringes push for change. That's how things work. :-)

Long interview with former head of Cadillac, he's obviously very pro EV:

The CleanTechnica article is hypothetical and unrealistic, but the EIA projections are for domestic production, which is a different matter altogether. Peak oil is a demand-side (not supply-side) issue now. I can't seem to find anything reported within the past year, but I'm pretty sure that domestic demand has basically been stagnant this decade.

That said, investment in oil & gas infrastructure is in decline. Many investors are reducing their investment in oil & gas companies (in some cases completely divesting though that's for good PR to some extent).

Most of that growth is a projection, and I'm skeptical about the objectivity of it.

Below are some articles from people in the oil & gas industry that are less optimistic:

Interesting speculation about a rather large oil supply crunch ahead, which would mean high prices of course.  The boom-bust cycles must be a challenge to try and manage.

I turned our heat back on this AM, was 45°F outside.

You can make a ° symbol by ALT248 on the keypad.

I turned my ac on yesterday it reached 100°F yesterday
