REPOST: IEA Proposes Ban-Rationing-Enforced Quotas on Oil Consumption - Measures Would Apply in US -------------- Excerpt: "The International Energy Agency is to propose drastic cutbacks in car use to halt continuing oil-supply problems. Those cutbacks include anything from car-pooling to outright police-enforced driving bans for citizens." "...extra police would be needed in these circumstances to stop citizens breaking the bans." "...the US workforce, currently around 138 million people, would need an extra 1380 officers to help enforce the bans." "Our main conclusion finds that [driving restrictions] tend to be most effective in gaining larger reductions in fuel consumption. "This would mean that countries who signed up to the treaty, including the five biggest economies of the world - US, Japan, Germany, UK and France - would all have to institute cuts." --- Message 21170162
