Thanks Platt.

But if you rally want to worry about something more serious, it's us
running out of cheap energy.

I did not say running out of energy, I said cheap energy.

2 movies to watch " the Crude Awakening" and " End of suburbia"

other key words or phrases to search in google, wikipedia or even you
tube are

Hubbert's peak
Peak oil

here are a few figures that put things in perspective

One barrel of oil is equivalent to 25,000 man hours. That's about 13
people working 40 hour week for a whole year doing labor ( plowing a
field)
in the 1960 it too 1 barrel to produce and ship 100 barrels out of Saudi
Arabia
today it takes 1 to produce 10.
it take one barrel to produce two out of the tar sands in Canada

It takes 5 to produce 4 barrels of ethanol

Have a good day.
