The slow accumulation of Peak Oil Cassandras:

- the 2010 U.K. Industry Task Force on Peak Oil and Energy Security sponsored by no less than six well-heeled blue chip corporations including the luminous Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group;
- the 2010 U.S. Department of Defense Joint Forces Command report;
- a 2010 interview with Glen Sweetnam, a senior DOE official, in Le Monde;
- a 2010 report in Business Day reporting on a warning issued by Christophe de Margerie, CEO of Total, the French oil company;
- a 2010 report sponsored by Kuwait University and the Kuwait Oil Company;
- the 2009 report in The Guardian newspaper on Peak Oil warnings by International Energy Agency insiders;
- a 2009 speech by John Hess of Amarada Hess, the oil company;
- a 2009 admission by Jose Sergio Gabrielli, CEO of Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company
- a 2008 Welsh National Assembly Report;
- a 2007 U.S. GAO (Government Accountability Office) report urging action;
a 2007 admission by Sadad Al-Huseini, a Saudi Aramco executive;
the 2006 baseline review by the Government of Ireland assessing vulnerability;
- a 2005 U.S. Department of Energy sponsored report: “Peaking of World Oil Production”;
- a 2005 study by the Government of Sweden;
- Jeffrey Rubin, former Chief Economist and Chief Strategist for Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, writing and speaking for a decade;
- Matthew Simmons, an energy industry investment banker and adviser to Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force, writing and speaking for a decade.

Together the above would make up a decent sized graveyard of tombstones.
