I rememeber seeing a movie once - I can't remember the title, but it involved America being able to control hurricanes and send them over countries that they didn't like to destroy them.

And the evil guy said something that's always stuck with me.

"A lot of Americans wouldn't care if a country got bombed, so long as they got gas a dollar cheaper at the pumps" (Paraphrasing, it's been a while since I've seen it.)

And it seems as though that is the general attitude. People, no matter if you believe the most liberal estimates that there are 220billion barrels down there (or one barrel, if the barrel is 220billion the size of a normal one), it will run out.

Whether that day comes in 30 years, 50 years or 600 years (No way jose, best estimate last I read in class was 100 years tops), it's coming, and unless we invest more in so-called alternate fuels, (Gasohol, Biogas, Wind, Solar etc), we're all going to be using candles to have these arguments, huddled around a campfire, starving to death.
