We are doomed! No...really...we are...

[Subdivisions]

You are not stupid. You know it's about the oil. Iraq is a "resource war". Iran will be also. We have built our civilization on a finite resource that has, as current events now suggest, "peaked". The balance between supply and demand has shifted. And there is no turning back. As the demand for oil and the oil-based products that our entire existance depends on increases, the supply will dwindle. And dwindle. Until we are forced to kill each other for a morsel of food. You know the time is coming.

I went to bed last night thinking that today I was going to conduct an investigation as to the status of our energy situation and post my report here on DU. However, from the first result of my first Google search, I found the very report I envisaged writing myself. Read it. And follow and read the links. And then decide for yourself. Are we, indeed, doomed? I fear we may be. And within most of our lifetimes. Certainly within mine and my children's.
