This sounds like a good read from a very rational author. I think you did a great job reviewing it as well and highlighting the fact that increased oil prices may not be such a horrible thing.

I started learning about peak oil a few years back and stumbled on a case study about how cuba had to live without oil after the embargos and ironically many people they interviewed in the story said their lives were better with less oil since it required them to build a greater sense of community in order to survive, which in turn, made the people happier.
