Whilst we scream and shout about oil being stolen etc. from anywhere and everywhere the simple fact is is that we need it. Our lives have become
totally enmeshed with it and despite our lack of support for illegal wars etc. who really wants to do without oil.
Most of us think straight away about our cars etc. but oil is in everything, all our plastic products, medical food literally thousands of items. Ink
for our pens oil for our heating. But it cannot last, sooner or later its going to run out and what are we all going to do. What happens when ther is
no more oil?
Some may say it will be a good thing, that when it goes there will be more employment, less pollution etc. but I don't think there will be. We need
to keeep warm, cook food, boil water and this cannot be achieved with novel fuel supplies, there is just to many of us on the Planet to sustain that.
This event is not far off in the distant future, this will be in our lifetimes and such situations may precipitate war for dwindling supplies. Many
think that has already started. The Russians for example are already sizing up the Artic and other regions with others doing same.
Will this life of plenty come to a suddle stop very soon and are the recent economic events just a foretaste of things to come?
