Well, assuming that was true, we still have a vast supply left. If we don't use it for cars, we should have plenty of time to develop alternatives even for medicines, etc. It's easy to say the sky is falling, but people have been saying that for years... I'm not saying we don't have time, I'm saying that the time we have is getting short and we still don't have a comprehensive energy policy. Upthread, you asked about a recession. As our economy is now based on cheap oil, when oil is not cheap there will be, at a minimum, economic consequences. You are right, people have been saying the sky is falling for years, but one thing is absolutely certain, oil is a *finite* gift. One day, the sky will be falling. I'm saying that day is sooner rather than later. |
