Now, it seems the topic of peak oil is all over the media. CNN, Reuters and Voice of America is reporting in detail about events that hint we are at world peak oil production. These are dramatic events, not noticed yet by the public because prices and supply constraints have not reached the consumers hard yet. However, based on these news, people should be alerted. I really hope people will be prepared for the consequences of declining oil supply and maybe even shortages not only at the pump.
Here is a good Voice of America report including a 3 minute video report about the October 2007 ASPO conference in Houston:

CNN talks about Peak Oil --- Again!
On March 18, 2006, CNN has hosted a show on the topic of Energy: CNN Presents - ''We Were Warned Tommorrow's Oil Crisis'' . This presentation revealed the vulnerability in regards to energy security in the US.
Now, October 30, 2007, CNN reports about the topic of peak oil and is quoting experts* who claim the world crude oil production has already peaked and any crude oil disruption will create a supply disruption and this might trigger an energy crisis - Today. Tomorrow seems to be Today now!

News Agency Reuters Speaks the Language of Peak Oil
Before you read this article, consider that the USA imports around 1 million barrels of oil from the Mexican Cantarell Oil field per day. That is around 5% of the US oil consumption per day. Now, this oil field is in serious decline and there are no other oil fields which cover these oil production losses. Reuters now speaks a clear peak oil language for the Cantarell Oil FIeld. Oil prices exceeded $91 toady again and it is obvious that we see the effects of peak oil world wide. It is not the time of debating or questions. It is the time for answers.
Mexico's Cantarell oil output recovers in Sept
Reuters - USA
MEXICO CITY, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Crude oil output from Mexico's declining Cantarell offshore field recovered to 1.461 million barrels per day in September ...

The U.S. Department of Energy provides Educational Peak Oil Poster
"All about Oil and Gas", this is how the Guy Caruso, head of the U.S. Department of Energy in 2005 titled a series of 10 educational posers, which are available for download as pdf files. One of these posters is called " Peak Oil - the Turning Point". The poster is very informative and lists the basic facts about peak oil. However, the Energy Information Agency (EIA) states that they believe that the peak in world in oil production is decades away although the poster also shows forecasts by respected authorities in the field of energy, which claim that the peak is just years away or is even happening right now.*)
So, although somewhat confusing in terms of the actual peaking time, it is remarkable that the U.S. Government comments on the topic of peak oil, and more importantly agrees with the fact of peak oil.
You can download the peak oil poster here and the entire selection of 10 posters about energy can be viewed here.
*) Also compare the EIA report of 2007, which gives very different picture of the peak oil event.
