Don't know about what price oil will reach but one thing is for sure - much of American suburbia is just plain ugly. The landscape is so ugly and paved with asphalt that even if you want to walk or bike, the sheer ugliness of the barren landscape will stop you in your tracks. Architecture took a vacation for the 40 years following WWII. Hopefully, we can infill the parking lots and convert lanes on roads to flower beds and recover some sense of community back into our lives.

You are certainly one of the most myopic people to frequent this page. "If oil goes to 50"...probably the most absurd statement ever to grace a YouTube page. Oil will hit 200 before the summer's end, count on it. It's chances of seeing 50 again are as small as your intellect. You can't see past the hood of your Hummer H1 that you absolutely NEED to navigate the treacherous streets of Manhattan. Yes, we have a limitless supply of oil and there is absolutely nothing to worry about. What a fool.

Thus the late 21st Century ends up looking an awful lot like the early 19th...

I know why, because they'll beat all commers at halo reach. Then they'll reach out, snatch those family jewels like a pirate then I dunno, nuke Japan or something.

Why does the 21st century belong to China? Give me specific reasons why the PRC is supposedly poised to become the preeminent military, economic, and cultural force for the next 100 years.

Did oil make it to $200 a barrel? Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't things peak around $150 and now been hovering between $80-$110 for the last while?
