An explanation from an Aussie site on the differences between the 3 types of people that make up the Peak Oil movement. I find myself somewhere between the Peaknik and Doomer camp. I hope for the best and continue to prepare for the worst. I have certainly not given up on humanity or its incredible resilience in the face of terrible challenges. We can overcome, but it's going to take a total team effort to cope with this challenge and come out the otherside.
