Peak Oil is Bull
There is plenty of oil, the countries which suppose their oil is running out simply don't want to exchange a valuable commodity for worthless paper dollars. Secondly what political reasons can you give for the United States to place restrictions on itself, while America's competitors consumer energy in profligate fashion? Would you prefer that the U.S. and Europe consume all of Russia's energy, or that Russia apply their energy to creating a second world power, while America becomes a second rate country?
America should consume as much of the worlds remaining energy as possible, because despite our wastefulness that energy will go to developing new energy technology, not missiles and tanks, and that will lead the world into the next millennium.
Energy conservation is energy surrender. When the oil well is dry who will be holding all the aces? I hope it is this country, (absent any of the current leadership)...
