Jason.
I have to say that when it comes it will be a relief, for too long capitalism has wasted oil to an alarming degree, isnt it weird that something that takes so long to form is in fact even with all the tax on it still cheaper than canned water based coca cola?
now the bad news Greece is subsidising farmers to grow olives, and olives and other vegitables can be converted into diesel as can animal fats, though there wont be enough to sustain the present wilful wasteful use of oil.
in fact ASDA distribution uses diesel converted from animal fats from stores, its a fact that diesel engines can run from the gallon tins of vegitable oil from supermarket shelves, but at the moment it is unlawfull to use it.
it will be a relief that the middle east will not be pounded with bombs by the British and Americans conning us all that its about weapons of mass destruction, it isnt its about oil.
just watch as britain begins to produce those vegies that produce oil.
I am one of those that says that oil usage must be cut now! and we will see policies soon that does that.
but before we see the oil depleat watch out for the lights going out, capitalism has been so efficient that we are using electricity almost as fast as we are producing it and gas is being used more than its being produced.
fortunatly we can get gas from coal, produce electricity from burning coal wood or even dead bodies, and rubbish of course and we can produce it from windpower.
Bad news though aircraft needs high octaine fuel and that means petrol, so along with concorde that lot will become meusium pieces.
Taxis and buses could be horse powered, but private hire cars alas cannot but they can go, we will have to restrict numbers as there has to be enough stables at the council level to put them, if they are mistreated, thats where limit by numbers came from.
but life can slow we can have more leasure and produce more kids like we used to!
the ready availability of the motor car is a curse and needs cutting Now.
