Although the peak oil may indeed be real and something new,
history provides a rather grim answer on the surge in
alternative fuel technologies. Typically such technologies
have been in place (say, fuel from coal) in countries that run their
currencies into the ground and are thus priced out of the
global energy market. Nazi Germany is one example, Apartheid
in South Africa is another example. US dollar is still the
world #1 reserve currency, even though we may feel that this
is no longer the case, so the Fed/Treasury "currency tweaking"
becomes global in nature.

So, my question is: Are we REALLY in a new era here, or is
it the same old? I believe it's the same old, but I'm sure
a few folks much smarter than me don't share these beliefs
and think "peak oil" is real.
