The evil twins
Discussion of global warming seldom makes any connection between the ecology of temperature change and pending fuel shortages. This is a really bad error.

How the coming home heating crisis could threaten the grid
What will people who rely on natural gas for home heating–and that includes a huge number of people in the United States–do when the natural gas crisis hits? They might well turn to electricity in a big way.
Annals of the rising Lilliputians
The center of gravity of power is shifting relentlessly from the West. The most successful cars are made in Japan.

CERA says global 4.5% decline rate means no near-term peak
“Some of the more gloomy, pessimistic ‘peak oil’ views about the future of oil supplies result from an assumption of high decline rates. This new analysis provides the basis for more confidence about the future availability of oil.”
The great coal hole
A number of recent reports suggest that coal reserves may be hugely inflated, a possibility that has profound implications for both global energy supply and climate change.
