by

Perhaps in a perfect Platonic world of policy, a “peak oil is today” strategy would look different from [CERA’s] “peak oil in 2040” strategy.

The second and what on the surface sounds the most in-depth study of world energy resources ever undertaken is being done under the auspices of the National Petroleum Council (NPC).
