Certainly this is food for thought! Excellent questions and theories. I guess the first issue is demand vs reserves. We should be able to get through a tough winter even if we have to deplete reserves to "dangerous" levels. As long as production will be "available" to rebuild stocks next year, then we wouldn't have to face a true crisis but more of a crisis of perception. If increases in production can NOT keep up with rising demand accompanied by the need to replenish inventory before next winter, then we could be facing a new oil crisis.

If the latter occurs, we will be faced with another huge boom and bust cycle, IMO.
