=Energy Crisis Indicators=

One measure of overall public awareness of this issue is in the media.

At some point, I expect there will be a rapid increase of the number of news article written about peak oil and related topics. This will occur when Peak Oil starts being reported by the mainstream media and picked up in news wire releases.

Here is the raw data gathered by tracking Google News hits.
