Reply #6: My current working 'forecast' [View All]

To me, it looks like the power of the 'old energy order' has enough of a stranglehold on the US to prevent new energy sources from being examined, much less implemented. Therefore, I think that it is going to take a degree of social de-evolution before the power of old energy wanes enough for new energy to move in. That's not a pretty picture.

I don't think that will necessarily be the case everywhere -- regions with foresight will be rewarded with a much easier time throughout the period where humanity is forced to kick the oil habit. Few of those regions are in the US, of course.
