Peak Oil for Dummies

"Unless there are major technological advances in the next few years then we are in for a century of war and famine."

The rate of decline will determine the severity of the crisis. Our national dependence on oil and being the world's largest military superpower should scare the hell out of oil producers. The US military will take what it needs from the world to survive in its current incarnation. We have more to fear from within than from without. Because we will be the aggressor in this conflict. And, we will spin it within some form of morality that belies our greed.
