there was a thread on this a while ago. titled something like "what the fuck you going to do". i tried searchbar, couldnt find it.
anyways it had a link to a webpage about 12 pages long with a big report about the bell curve theory of the oil resources left in the world and we will always have some oil left, but it will eventually become so costly to harvest that it wont' be practical. since so much runs on oil, prices in general will increase and only a very few elite that can afford to will be able to buy even the basics. its a bleak article that is a bit extreme, but raised some valid points: with gas prices rising, the cost of operating your car and heating your house isnt all that goes up. even things like food will rise. the food has to be harvested and transported by trucks, sometimes preserved in a cooled enviroenment, etc. almost all of it relies on petroleum.
if someone can dig that up and post it thatd be relaly helpful the guy did a better job explaining his theory than i did. i think its a thread from 05 if that helps....
