Well, we need a plan of transition .. especially for liquid fuels for transportation and home heating ( where the 'shortage' will be ) .. At present rates of consumption (ie 30.5 Billion barrels crude per year ) and +1.6% per year demand growth .. we blow thru the next 1 trillion barrels by 2031 or by 2041 with no demand growth .. If we commit to a nuclear build-out for baseload power, then the remaining oil supplies would support a transition to GTL or CTL for transport fuels ( though an all electric transportation grid makes the most sense to me ) .. This approach would also address the concerns of the Global Warming crowd as we phase out coal fired steam plants .. Attempting to maintain the energy status quo will only guarantee a future hard crash .. Triff .. biz.yahoo.com
