Thank you for the link on peak oil. I would like to point out that a major effect about keeping a lid on this as well as other shortages is that it gives the people in the know that much more time to quietly position themselves to profit from that knowledge. The ultimate "insider trading" at the expense of the masses yet again. Paulm, #3. Thank you for the link on peak oil.

Making the impossible possible. Change is what will drive people for further innovation for all decades to come, and that is what we need now as well. Change to create a sustainable feature for our children and theirs. And the forecasts are getting more positive, we can do this.

Too fearful to publicise peak oil reality The economic establishment accepts the world soon won't be able to meet energy demands, but wants to keep quiet about it http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cif-green/2009/nov/10/peak-oil-fear-economic-establishment Now, this all seemed pretty gigantic news to me but guess where the World Energy Outlook chose to put this graph? Was it in the front, was it prominently discussed in the foreword? Did it cause headlines around the world. No, no, no. It was buried deep into the report and no reference was made to it in the press conference a year ago. The fear is that panicky markets can cause enormous damage – panic-buying that prompts fights over resources, which in turn could lead to power cuts in some places and other such mayhem.
