The question is just: When will it happen? Due to rising prices and new technologies I donīt think one of us will still be alive when that happens. But we have to face the consequences even now. The energy problem is just one think. There are some solutions like wind, water, nuklear power and the fusion power that might solve this problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power But oil is also basis for other things, e.g. plastics. Can anyone imagine a world without plastics? |

Wasn't that the world like 100 years ago? I mean, it's been done. They're not entirely necessary. I'm also of the opinion that the demand destruction that is caused by very high prices has the ability to lessen any bell curve of oil depletion. We also have to figure out an efficient way of extracting shale oil. If that were to happen the United States would have massive reserves of available oil. It'll just take some time, and hopefully lots of alternatives and demand destruction has happened in the meantime. |

May not be "necessary" but lemme tell you, I can't imagine medicine w/o the benefits of plastics and other petroleum based products... talk about stepping back into the medical dark-ages! |

Yes, and plastics are massively spread throughout consumer products. My point is that if we had to, there are likely alternatives and it is possible to live without plastics (which I don't think it will come to anyway) |

Metals are made with oil too  On the other hand, we had this coming. Well the only people to blame is Banks, Governments and ourself. It's like betting on one horse, the horse will die or lose after a while. |
