What if all the new oil we’re discovering right now doesn’t do much better than 1-1 on energy return for energy invested? The linked piece is long, about 5,000 words, but, short of James Kunstler apocalyptic, something like this should scare you.
The deafening silence of all presidential candidates of both major parties about Peak Oil isn’t staggering (because it doesn’t surprise me), but it is disgusting.
I’ll shortly be doing a more in-depth post about major issues missing from this year’s presidential campaign.

What price do you think oil has to hit before people start waking up??? Really it is the media who are to blame for toeing the company line and focusing their cameras on Brittany's Boobs and telling us that THEY are the real news.
I'd guess, here in the US, it has to hit, and stay at $125/bbl before something happens.
Yes, the media is at fault, but, so too are risk-averse politicians.
