Oil Drum

http://www.theoildrum.com/node/3064#more
The attached in-depth article from TOD is analyzing where crude (C&C) oil demand/supply and price are going and how soon.
About the only item they have left out is a projection for..... world..... population increase. But if we draw a line ascending at a 45 degree incline we will still be conservative.
And the world population are not aware of how special and deserving all of the western white Christians are. And they especially don't believe we should be getting 25% of the worlds energy at their expense. And that's not even with the aid of our Crusader guns.

The first graph chart has a line projecting crude price for a few years ahead and it is beyond the possibility for any country to absorb and maintain their existing standard of living. And especially a country or empire such as this one which has burnt it's own resources and reserved wealth while pursuing the short sighted conquest of the oil producers in the middle east.

And yes, their is a name for this future oil issue. Peak Oil which translates to actually mean the world supply of crude oil is now diminishing while the world demand is significantly increasing along with the world population.
And for the industrial world it is disaster plus. And just to stir the pot sixty percent of today's crude production is concentrated in the middle east.
And they know it along with who has what, who needs what and for how much.
The American public maybe intentionally uninformed but those who have oil are not. So basking in the fluorescent lights of the local Mall maybe a thing of the past for Mr. and Mrs. Waddle USA.

In the comments section following the article it is pointed out that we will not be driving large personal vehicles in 2011. Really!
I believe it will be far more serious than that in three to four years.
Try on... being hot when it's hot and cold when it's cold. Fuel converted to electricity is what creates a temperate ambient temperature.

And no coal, sand or shale crude or the others such as solar, wind and wave will take up the slack. And now that some of us see an energy crunch coming we again have the glow of a crush on nuclear.
But don't count on instant nukes as that is not for ten to fifteen years and down a very bumpy road.
I still see this as far more than just energy issues.
It will be food production, transportation and the national electrical grid along with social unrest which are some of the issues most of us don't give allot of thought too.

What are the options?
Their is only one positive option and it is not SERIOUSLY being considered. It's energy conservation. The nation would have to go to a 'war time' regime which would require leadership and direction as well as a redirection of labor and resources.
This administration or for that matter neither political party have any intention of broaching that subject.
They both get their funding from the corporations and the national banks who are not in the business of serving the nation or the people.

And maybe before that we would also need to have a feeling of national impending crisis far more than the concern that's just dawning that we might have a really big financial crisis in the very near future.

Unfortunately, the neo cons have other plans for us and the middle east. The citizens of the U.S. are really considered as foreign nationals by the neo cons. They have moved on and nolonger care what we think or do as they have an international plan which doesnt need our support.

Am i implying martial law? We'll what else is going to keep us under control in a bankrupt nation that will soon be going energy dysfunctional?
Did someone say Blackwater? I will agree on that one. Their is allot more going on with Blackwater and Graystone than has come out. They are the intended force that will be used to control the u.s. population when they declare marshal law.
An ultra right "Christian" led mercenary group. Graystone is an out front Mercenaries organization also owned by Prince. Blackwater states they offer security for a price. Graystone is offering repression for a price.
it's and actual military force responsible only to them selves.
Try searching Blackwater on Amazon if you have doubts. And the TV monitored tactics we saw used after Katrina is not in the plan.

And for anyone having doubts about that I suggest they awake from their nap and smell the blood.
