Really, it's gonna be OK.
I'm sorry - really, really sorry.

Ok I can't leave well enough alone. A good friend who follows peak oil
pretty closely sent me this. I think it's optimistic at best and pretty
delusional at worst. How long will it take (and cost) to get all this
whiz bang stuff going? There's no doubt in my mind the petro economy
is doomed. Now, if we had any sense we'd wean ourselves NOW, while we
can, use whatever technology may work to do it and move to the next
phase. Even in the best case scenario the price of oil is going to
continue to climb and climb.
They also make the sweeping statement that "the World is not about to
run out of oil". The world WILL NEVER run out of oil. There just WON'T
BE ENOUGH for everyone to go as we are. I'm sure there will alwasy be a
trickle ot two...
