Kelpie Wilson writes: "In 2005, Americans woke up to the reality of peak oil,
the predicament first described by geologist M.K. Hubbert in which world oil
production would reach a peak, followed by an inevitable decline. In 2006, we
started seeing more attention to the two paths that can lead us forward: energy
efficiency and renewable energy. As Democrats take over Congress in 2007,
promising action on energy and climate change, it is important to look
critically at the available options."
