Over the past year, American drivers have found themselves longing for the days when two dollars per gallon seemed expensive. Oil prices are rising at an unprecedented rate, and as a result, many are questioning whether the Earth's available oil supply has reached its peak. Are there still oceans of oil awaiting our discovery? How much pain you'll be feeling at the pump in the future depends on the answer.

Eye opener
I have long been an advocate of renewable energies. But you have raised an extremely important issue: Oil is just one of hundreds of non-renewable resources. It is funny how one can so completely ignore all the items in a store when everybody talks about just the gooey black stuff.
I will surely look into this in great depth in the near future! Unfortunately it is just one more seemingly-impending disaster awaiting our species just around the next corner. As if we haven't had enough troubles lately! But it would be universally foolish to ignore the growing scarcity of our planet's natural resources.
Thanks for keepin' it real.
