Energy Crunch

Okay, I came across an amazing article that happens to be titled 'The Energy Crunch to Come.'

If you don't know about the idea of peak oil, suffice to say that most experts agree that it's real. They disagree on the date, but this article explains why it may come sooner rather than later. His conclusion should sound familiar if you've been reading my blog:

"Only an ambitious program of energy conservation -- entailing the imposition of much higher fuel-efficiency standards for American automobiles and SUVs -- and the massive funding of R&D in, and then the full-scale development of alternative, environmentally-friendly fuels can offer hope of averting the disaster otherwise awaiting us."
