Perhaps by then it will be too late? Perhaps it's already too late. The world has a finite amount of oil.And we're running out fast...Had we been forced to conserve oil ten years ago we might have had time to find new energy sources.

This same attitude has been taken towards other natural resources. Resulting as prices rise more and more effort is put into squeezing the last drop. Then Bingo! we have none. Supply drops offa cliff. What we gonna do then?

The old let the mkt take care of things duzn't work when supply is finite......Econ 101
