Well that our they think "peak" doesn't describe the graph of oil production that will result of the the slow exhaustion of resources. But rather a plateau with an even steeper decline in production at the end of the plateau. See Peak Oil describes a graph of oil production not the obviously finite supply of oil.

I study petroleum engineering and I will tell you that if anyone says we will exhaust the supply before 2080 they are either being intentionally as pessimistic as possible or they also have a political agenda. We know there is enough to cover supplies that far. The question is whether we can keep up with demand after that.

Which hilariously follows the Fallout timeline, fuck year.
