Speaking of reality: "Total, Shell Chief Executives Say 'Easy Oil' Is Gone" was a 2007 headline from Bloomberg, not a hippie dippie newsletter from 1973.

Not "hippy-dippy" newsletters; mainstream publications.

Grove, Noel. "Oil, the Dwindling Treasure," National Geographic, June, 1974. Relevant quote: "'The end of the oil age is in sight,' says US oil geologist M. King Hubbert. He bases his bell-shaped curve on estimated ultimate production of 2,000 billion barrels from the world's oil wells, including 300 billion barrels already used up by 1974 and 628 billion now-proven reserves...If present trends continue, Dr Hubbert estimates, production will peak in 1995 -- the deadline for alternative forms of energy that must replace petroleum in the sharp drop-off that follows."

That is why the Salon article is so very tedious -- it is derivative. And it does not play as well as the original vinyl.
