Economic growth: it’s not dead yet | Colin McInnes | spiked.
In this bit McInnes argues that economic growth can continue after Peak Oil — citing as evidence all the wonderful engineering which occurred in the cheap oil era and which depended on cheap oil for its existence.

New oil strikes keep oil prices on the defensive (USO, PTR, TOT, XOM) – NASDAQ.com.
“For the first time in a long time, the United States is a net energy exporter.”
