Elsewhere in the article it speculates the date for reaching the peak oil
production (and starting the decline) is late 2005, early 2006 or maybe even
as late at 2007.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the distinction of having the last WalMart Super
Center built before they recognized that peak oil changed their business
model. When it became a dark stork, it would be a tourist attraction
bringing us great revenue (oh I forgot, tourism will change too).

Can we talk about something happier, like "peak water" on the Palouse,
something that has not happened yet.
