Another item you might want to check out. CBC's Quirks and Quarks did an episode on what Canada will look like in 2050. I should note that Peak Oil is not mentioned. I guess nobody cares about energy.

Here's another video I though you'd enjoy. Some of you may already be familiar with the TED lecture series. Here is Amory Lovins talking about the oil end game. 20 minutes.
