One of the smartest guys I know sends this:
"A little over a year ago I started using Rutledge's estimates for coal reserves, along with oil and natural gas assessments from ASPO, in my public presentations. Nice to see he's finally starting to get some attention. Peak coal, along with peak oil and natural gas, have dramatic implications for climate change (and of course, for energy availability). The attached picture is from my powerpoint presentation and uses his coal numbers. Oil is peaking about now, with coal and natural gas peaking about 10 years later. Peak everything is around 2020, and nuclear never makes much difference. Sorry, kids & grandkids; but at least their climate won't be as wild as it could have been."
