The most recent post at Peak Oil Community has another good review of the size of the coming problem, and particularly addresses some issues about the usual response in the comments section. For example one comment addresses oil finds in Utah. Saintbryan replies:

Now, let's talk about that oil up in Alaska, Canada, and Utah.
According to an analysis of Utah's oil, the total ammount of oil in the ground there is estimated to be 912 Million barrels. Enough oil to supply the country for less than seven weeks. And that's just the estimate. The PROVEN ammount of oil in Utah is 271 million barrels. And presently supplies .7% of the US's oil needs. Forget Utah, dude.

I believe he is overly optimistic about when the peak will arrive. We don't disagree in that it will be soon.
