I hope you are correct. However, economic harm will start soon after we reach peak oil. Conflicts will arise next as oil becomes more scarce.
If we have alternative energy sources when we reach peak oil, it will be a non-event. With the current energy policies I am concerned alternative sources will not be available on a large scale when we need it (in order to avoid conflict).
