If we have to find 10 million barrels of oil per day sometime in the next decade, can we do it? Peak easy says no, not by a long shot.

Agreed. But the best comment I heard on the subject is that there really is no one "silver bullet" technology to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. But the sum of multiple alternate energy sources can (eventually) do it -- this would be one step toward that goal.

Peak easy says we're not going to make it. I think they are unduly pessimistic, but there will be some massive structural changes.
