+1 to halveblue
the writer undervalues (or completely forgets to mention) the status of the oil supply. while there have been peak oil scares in the past, peak oil DOES happen; as it has already happened in the US. even optimistic forecasts put it within the century. doomsday predictors say it has happened already or will happen in 5-10 years.
the writer also undervalues the developing countries out east. china + india = a shitload of people. as their standard of living improves and they all buy cars, you can expect to see the price of energy in general skyrocket, due to a ridiculously huge influx of demand.
