I saw this doomsday hysteria on the front page of one of those ridiculous 'rags' at the supermarket.
I think it was the same paper that showed a picture a few months ago of cats living on Venus. LoL

So let me understand--are you saying that they don't have cats on Venus? If so, then my dog and I don't want to go.

Economists, in particular, believe the supply and demand equation will spur innovation and conservation, and the problem will take care of itself.

The most cogent comment in the whole article. Energy (oil) became more expensive in the 70's. We adjusted. Energy is (obviously) becoming more expensive now. We'll adjust. Thermal depolymerization, tar sands, improved drilling and extraction, etc. all await. To say nothing of the simple fact that as the price per barrel makes more "estimated" reserves "proven" reserves.

Wasn't it one of those 'rags' that broke the Clinton/Lewinski story?

Alledgedly Clinton is close friends with the owner of the rag.

Clinton's goal was to diffuse the rumors by having it reported in a 'rag.' "It can't be true I read it in the tabloid, next to the batboy story."

If the oil story is true, a good way to diffuse panic would be to report it in a tabloid.

Just a thought.
