With the price of oil plummeting nearly $100 a barrel since July, people have something to feel good about during this difficult economic time period; however, it may lead to the dismissal of the peak oil theory. For those not familiar with peak oil, it is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached. After this point in time, the rate of production begins to steadily decline.

With the relatively cheap oil prices, the cost of bringing new oil into production is too expensive. As the International Energy Agency (IEA) has repeatedly warned for more than a year, excessively low prices will discourage investment in production, especially with the steadily rising costs of extracting and processing oil from increasingly difficult places. This lack of sufficient investment has serious consequences for the future supply once the global economy recovers from its current
