An excellent idea. In addition I would also suggest this is split into a straight links section and also a pinned post which outlines exactly what peak oil is and includes references. Whilst I don't think this site will see the same volume of users as HPC (for a while anyway ), I think this would go someway to reducing the amount of re-hashing the same argument posts (i.e. all you folks are yoghurt weaving eco-idiots, there is loads of oil left etc.) which are bound to crop up and get slightly tiresome. I would recommend these for inclusion (I will edit and add more when I get the chance) on Ghawar and Cantarell, which should be fairly helpful when explaining the volume of new reserves required to replace declining production (very interesting reads, especially the Ghawar article, if you haven't seen them before) Ghawar Production Decline Cantarell Production Decline
