I think one of the great things about Kevin Drum's series on Peak Oil is that he approaches the topic without any hidden agendas or filters, and in a logical, impartial, balanced way.
So I'm a little disappointed when I see people attacking the series in one way or another, say like this: ('Social justice and the path forward from peak oil').
Strangely enough, I appreciate what the author is trying to say (I'm a tad of an environmentalist myself), but I think he really misfired on his target, as have other people.
