Another excellent web site for Peak Oil information is Jim Puplava's www.financialsense.com. Jim has done literally dozens of Peak Oil related interviews on his Financial Sense Newshour podcast, and there are also several written articles on the subject on his Financial Sense Online site. See also Jim's Peak Oil Reading List, which includes several more books and articles in addition to those listed here.

I hope you find this information helpful. If you have questions or comments, I request that you use the discussion thread for these videos on iTulip.com. It's much easier for me to answer your questions there, and for others to benefit from your comments or questions as well.
