The Alaska Pipeline Breakdown Is A Peak Oil Problem, And A Harbinger Of Bad Things To Come: "You know that the Alaska oil pipeline is currently shut down due to a leak, but one thing that's getting lost in this story is that this is not just an unpredictable mechanical problem.
This situation has been foreseen for years as Alaska oil production dwindles. Dwindling oil production means lower pressure inside the pipeline -- lower pressure than what was anticipated when it was built -- and thus more opportunity for structural breaks such as this one."
