I was browsing around on my favorite consiracy web pages and found this nugget at urbansurvival.com:

westwing.bewarne.com/sixth/605hubbert.html

and

www.westwingepguide.com/S6/Episodes/117_THP.html

It looks like West Wing is to have an episode featuring Peak Oil. The episode is to air sometime after November (after the elections, of course).

Hmmm.. If Uncle M. King is being discussed on prime time TV, maybe its past time to buy those 40 acres to plant and the pair of Belgian-Percheron draft horses to plow it with.

Hope my note stirs up some interest.

Yours truly, from the heart of the permian basin,

Six Feet Under carried several episodes in which one character repeatedly referred to Peak Oil (not by name, but he kept talking about running out of oil -- and potable water). Eventually they had the character start to go nuts, talk to himself, stock up on water and move into a bomb shelter.

Reading the spoilers:

It just sounds like some aide suffers a bitch-fest from the alternative energy industry, and then accidentally runs over a Prius with a hummer. Not going to wake up the masses, but it'll make a nice punchline for a peak oil talk.
