I think the "Peak Oil" mindset peaked in the 70s. While solar, wind and hydro seem infinite - they don't just magically reach the end user. Solar requires solar panels which have a finite life span. Same for all the other energy sources. Oil has done so well for so long because its such an energy dense resource, works in so many operating conditions, and is readily available and shipped to nearly everywhere. It's really quite incredible. Yes, there are likely negative effects from using it - but I'd expect to see that energy source play a critical role in resolving those issues too.
