Jason - your point about it not being on mainstream TV yet is well taken. The time for debating the 'reality' of Peak Oil is long past. With Climate Change, some might argue that due to the slow nature of change, there was plenty of time for the public to get their heads around the issue - in a fairly leisurely way. With Peak Oil, that luxury doesn't exist. The time for debate is over, it's time for people to start taking practical steps in terms of energy descent for their housholds, neighborhoods and cities. I am a firm believer that if we take appropriate action quickly enough, we can avoid the kind of challenges that Ryan's graphs make seem inevitable. The key might not be to try and get everyone on board at once, but to just start taking action, and others can "pile on to the bus" as we go, and as the difficulties become more and more obvious. Indeed, most major cultural changes happened this way.

'Transition Hamilton' anyone?
