I want to point out that overtaking oil doesn't mean displacing it. History described in this chart predicts that the best we can hope for is that oil usage will very slowly decline like biomass or coal. I point this out not because I think this history must be our destiny, but instead to raise awareness that much more must be done to avoid that destiny.
