Peak Oil is something of a meme. We will never run out of oil. What will happen and what does matter is the energy costs associated with extracting energy, which has been trending upwards. If we do not find a suitably dense and anergy efficient source to replace mineral sources, for which extraction costs in terms of energy have been trending upwards, there is no avoiding drastic drops in standards of living over the coming century.
""""Green""" energy sources are nowhere near as dense and require high energy inputs for somewhat meager outputs. I doubt a """"green""" energy system could be maintained without mineral sources.
Building nuclear seems viable but monetary costs would have to plummet for it to be really viable.
