Oil crisis 'could be as bad as financial crisis'

I dont care, as long oil prices rise and my investment portfolio increases.

And what fiat currency are you going to redeem your investments in? Rising energy costs are a guarantee that governments worldwide will turn the printing presses to 11, not that it will do anything but delay the inevitable. I hate sounding like a tin-foil hatter but I hope your portfolio consists of arable land, canned beans and a .22 rifle. The ponzi is collapsing, anyone who cannot see that and continues to play the investment game will be the greater fool when the rush to exit begins ;-)...

... (?)... about .01% of the conversation. All other (than oil-based) energy sources are exerting downward pressure on demand psychologically... because 1) development of and 2) conversion to, those sources to any significant degree, are years away.

and practically impossible to do on a mass scale without a complete rebuild.  effort compared to developing the South Pole. Pretty much logistically impossible on such a scale.
