Ever since the great potato famine in Ireland, their farmers have had special privileges, lower taxes, plenty of fuel, property rights protected, etc. We in the US are spending our money for foreign fuel, clothing, shoes, appliances, vehicles, food(meat, staples, vegies, fruits,etc.) What if no one is left in this country who knows how to produce all these things? The farmers are besieged by the environmentalists. The enviros have hijacked the government and now the farmers are fined if they make dust while disking their fields!!! Their irrigation water is take away to give to the bugs, fish, and !protected! species. Now cows belching is causing "global warming" !! Farmers see the irony in the bumper sticker 'Hungry? Eat an environmentalist!!

The world is heading for a famine within a decade or so.

The farmers have lost their subsidy, while paying as much for fuel as the rest of us, but using many times more (some use tax exempt or dyed diesel, but this savings is only pennies per gallon). In NW Oklahoma, a drought has ravaged the last two wheat crops, bringing most family farms to the brink of bankruptcy. Think of what just a portion of the money we waste in Iraq would mean to these farmers, many of who are facing losing land that has been in their family for generations. Pray for the American farmer

No it is now in many places but it will get to the brink in 3 years. America will be okay but we will be more into conservation very quickly, unless this war escalates and I hope not. But the world is polluted and fish are being poisoned by bugs, like the birds too. And the only thing that will help is our farms that are synthetic, chickens, cows, dairy, vegetables,etc., buy lots of vitamin supplements and plenty of tea, and coffee, and soda, preferably colas, and 7-ups, energy drinks will over power you without food.
30 gallons of water per person, for a long stay. Canned foods, etc., Sardines good source of calcium, soy milk in cans (Isomil baby formula is excellent) Good Hunting

you've made a surprising, glaring and perchance intentional blunders. major different and toddlers production has no longer something to do with how a lot oil we import. All oil, regardless of the position that is drilled, is offered on the international marketplace to the utmost bidder. you may want to seem up what the fracking fluids keen on getting the oil from the shale easily do, and the numerous issues in touch.

There will never be a day where we wont produce it, itstead prices will just rise and more big companies will decide to move in to strike a profit and then the price competition will just start up again and .... thats it..... We will never be in a famine

No, but all of Asia is in for eating snow, ice, mud, rocks and nothing much else this very winter.
You know, the fruits of Communism.
