Rocky Mountain Institute: "Peaking: the Series" RMI has done foundational research on energy for decades. I've pulled out just one graph to show how an energy transtion with electric vehicles will play out. Some observers suspect peak production of fossil fuel vehicles will be as soon as two years. Reminds me of an old quote, perhaps misattributed to either Mark Twain or F. Scott Fitzgerald. And in turn the quotation itself is often a bit mangled. The version I like is: "At first you go bankrupt slowly, then all at once." Welcome to the new world.
