The "Peak Oil" old chestnut has long been a discredited phenomena and was first disproved when it was first raised - in the 1920's! The argument arises throughout the industrial age according to prevailing geo-political and geo-economic conditions. Currently, a narrow comunity of interests have coincided accounting for this current price in crude oil but be assured, oil supply by far exceeds demand, new fields are being discovered all the time and the largest existing fields have hardly been exploited. The only reason there are not new giant oil fields brought online is because there simply not the demand for the oil to justify it.
As to your point about change at the top - well I assume those at the top in Arabian countries thought the same...
The age of Big Government is over; it's an obsolete construct and we can do away with 95% of it (especially the hated EU), avoid anarchy and society can prosper like never before. And we'll all be riding KTM's when I rule the world.
