tick tick tick tick 40 years to go!
PS: my yearly energy costs have risen over 30% in 1 year (2008)
They will rise a minimum and a further 30% next year (2009) not to forget the hidden inflationary costs and the past down/on CO2 emission cost that will be added.
OPEC will reduce OIL supply by 2.2 mb/d in 2009 so the energy cost will rise anyway.
Have a Coke!
I suspect we have reached our limits globally on virtually everything and there will be no real "soft-landing" for over 90% of our Global population.
If our efforts to understand and resolve such matters as global change involve increasing political, technological, economic, and scientific complexity, as it seems they will, then the availability of energy per capita will be a constraining factor. To increase complexity on the basis of static or declining energy supplies would require lowering the standard of living throughout the world. In the absence of a clear crisis very few people would support this. To maintain political support for our current and future investments in complexity thus requires an increase in the effective per capita supply of energy-either by increasing the physical availability of energy, or by technical, political, or economic innovations that lower the energy cost of our standard of living. Of course, to discover such innovations requires energy, which underscores the constraints in the energy-complexity relation
