not one word of peak oil, these people still dont get it

[fluffmeistergeneral]

Not unreasonable to assume that any poltical collapse in SA would lead to much higher oil prices for some time (several months, perhaps several years). There are other countries in the world preparing to deliver huge extra quantaties of oil to the market, esp Iraq which may in time (10 years plus) balance out a SA collapse event, but then as you say who knows what the future holds. Whatever it is, it'll be emotional!.
