Peak oil is a way off yet, and the reason we need to stop using sequestered carbon is because atmospheric insulation is increasing steadily as a direct result of fossil fuel usage. Not because of ground supply shortfall.

The current events highlight the supply chain issue - not a shortage of oil, it's a shortfall in "oil going anywhere".
