http://www.theoildrum.com/node/3140 Very good reading; a look back, from 2034, on the 25th anniversary of peak oil production globally. This is a very optimistic view--railroads replacing most car and truck traffic by 2034. It may not happen that way, of course. And some are saying that peak oil has already occured--we don't have until 2009. Oil at nearly $100 a barrel makes that seem plausible.
