However, I think it's fair game to speculate as to the potential implications of a peak oil scenario on the important geopolitical events of sure, as long as you don't mind getting depressed -g/ng- Darley has coined the apt phrase "the walking worried" for people who think about the implications of these things. but i guess you could limit your focus to specific timelines. e.g., over the next 10 yrs: volatile energy prices, combined with localized "flareups" / large-scale skirmishes / small-scale wars over the next 20-30 yrs: increasingly hot tensions between major powers, esp. US and China over the next 30-50 years: overtly hot world wars between major powers over the next 50-100 years: end of "civilization" as we know it. effective end of large-scale nation-states, which are increasingly usurped by warlords. a "Road Warrior" type scenario. hopefully these scenarios are totally off-base and the world lives happily ever after.
