Posted Fri Mar 7 2008: from Globe and Mail (Canada): Life after the oil crash http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1204905115 The grab-your-gun-and-head-for-the-hills scenario goes something like this: In the next year or so, world oil production will peak and then promptly plummet, forced down by sinking reserves. While supply crashes, demand will grow. Virtually overnight, fuel will become so dear that farm tractors will go idle, people will go hungry and homes will go cold. Financial markets will collapse and social chaos will follow....
