The human race and the earth have survived and will continue to do so for many thousands of years..... You logic is badly misguided. The Human race has only relied on Oil to expand in the last for 70 years ish. The MAIN reason why the world has been able to go from only 2billion people around 1900 to 6.6 billion ONLY 108 years later is a cheap energy source (Oil). Now demand is finally easily exceeding supply, add in the fact world production is set to decrease and we have Human disaster pending the likes we have never seen before. Most damaging of all, Peak oil is being treated like some sort of secret at the highest levels, and its very easy to see why.	Battleneter2 (9361)

US the largest user of world oil (around 25%) own government says "Don't blame us" Would have been far to hard to Tax SUV's and subsides Hybrids and economical cars, thus forcing car manufactures to produce more Hybrids and lowering the price. Thats just "1" basic idea to lower consumption (demand and price). I guess after 30 years of doing "nothing" about the inevitable looming crisis, they can just blame China or invade another oil state to catch terrorists lol. Meanwhile most of the public remain oblivious to what is actually going on and blame Oil company's for market forces. money.cnn.com	Battleneter2 (9361)

I can only say that advancing years may release me from suffering the dramatic degradation of lifestyle that will be the natural consequence of the passing of peak oil and the accelerating decline of Petroleum based energy, although my children and grandchildren will unfortunately have to suffer it. The increases in agricultural production that have permitted the world to support its burgeoning population has been courtesy of Petroleum. A consequence of drastic shortages food and resources could well be that the strong will just seize what they want at the expense of everyone else - shades of the Japanese Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere - that was the rationale behind Japans aggressive expansion in the 30s and early 40s.
