Anyone who would like a self-contained, freely redistributable crash course on peak oil might want to give my presentation The Oil Crunch a look. I gave it in person in September, and have had a lot of positive feedback from people there and online.
(For those who just can't wait to find out if I agree with them or not: I'm in the "near-term peak" crowd. Specifically, I agree with Chris Skrebowski that we're looking at a peak in the 2011/2012 time frame, although I think his estimate of the level of oil production at the peak, 92 million barrels/day, is a bit high.
I'm also convinced that we need a grass-roots movement to force politicians to do the right things regarding peak oil. And that movement must begin with education.)
