How Long Will Reserves Last:

I wonder if we are on our way to living like survivors did in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes."
I wonder how the peak and then decline of oil resources will coincide with political power games. The fact that the Bushes and Nixons couldn't see beyond the tips of their noses but loved heating up their economies with fossil fuel really got us to consider what our limits would be. They didn't give a rats ass as to how people will have to think otherwise for alternative resources because it wasn't part of their strategy to strike the imaginary enemy of today and worry about resources tomorrow. About the further progression of solar and wind sources?It will have to continue along with other forms of fuel for the next generation of gas free cars. And lets hope we don't go back to primiive times either by nuking each other out in quest of alternative energy sources! Cavemen did survive without all the modern technological trappings that coincided with oil furnaces. But their lifespans were short, weren't they?So let's hope the quality of our lives, to be able to live relatively free of catastrophes will not occur with a decline in the black gold beneath our feet
