Re: interesting read
Whilst I agree with your counter that there are of other energy sources available, you have not addressed the issue that virtually everything in our lives is derived from some petrolium based product.
That chair you're sitting on? That monitor your looking at? Your cooker, your kettle, anything plastic, pretty much most man made materials including clothes, containers, remote controls, speakers, cups, etc. Look at the things around you now and realise how much of it depends on oil, and I don't mean just as a fuel.
Combine that with the fact that there are countries with many millions of people in them desperately trying to match the economic success we in the west have had and it's not hard to see there is an impending crisis IMO. Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't solutions, but realise that the oil crisis isn't just about energy to our cars and down wires into our homes.
