Prediction - Peak Oil is Here (but they're not telling)

There's been a rush on Nuclear Power generation in recent weeks. Most notably in OZ where Howard has decided to make a debate out of the issue (with preordained results, etc). I don't know what's going on in the US, but I noticed this article today on BBC News.

There seems to be a lot of jockeying going on at the moment, as as countries like OZ have the upper hand (we have lots of the stuff) are their machinations going on to take control of the new (looming) cartels?

I suspect so. But why? My prediction is that Peak Oil has finally hit the political reality and the power brokers are making their play. Of course, don't expect them to tell us it's happening - that would be probably bring about the collapse of the Western world!!
