Iraq war 1990. Saddam lights oil wells on fire. Kuwait and Saudi up production to compensate. 2002, India and China becoming net importers of oil. Oil production maxed. In the event of a loss of oil control today, oil production cannot be dubbled in other countries to compensate. This means global recession in all countries. It means gas at the pump goes up to $20 a liter. It means no one can get to work anywhere if they depend on a vehicle. It means gas staions go bankrupt. It means shippers, airlines, insurance companies, refineries and the KY jelly corporation are on the street and everyone is looting. Does that sound better, or does being proactive and stemming the problem before it starts sound better? And why don't people understand this?

i honestly believe that at the moment, bush is using the taxes from the nations oil sales to fund the war in iraq, hince when it was suggested to relieve the oil tax, congress denied .i also believe bush's foreign policy plan is in shambles, and his innability to get along with any one country in the world inhibits our country's import and export buisnesses as well

I do not think that you understand the situation completely. The price of gas is not going to go up over night. It will happen slowly. There will not be looting and companies going bankrupt because it will happen slowly. We will have the opportunity to make changes before the price of gas reaches $20 a gallon. When electric cars become cheaper than having to pay for gas people will use electric cars and that will lessen than demand for oil. If you simply let capitalism run its course, the problem will solve itself.

#1) Ask a simple question and you'll get a simple answer.
#2) Why do you put the name of George Bush at the beginning of your own rant regarding excessive use of declining, finite resourses?
#3) Until the price ( we live in a capitalist society, remember) hits everyone in the pocketbook who cares?
#4) I absolutely agree with you that this globe should have begun to curtail it's greedy consumption of oil 50 years ago.
#5) This globe will probably go to war over fresh drinking water long before the oil runs out.
