Oil Shockwave: An Executive Oil Crisis Simulation Part II

On June 23rd, 2005, a group of high-ranking former officials gathered in Washington, DC to explore the potential security and economic consequences of an oil crisis. They found that removing only small portions of the world's oil supply- as little as 4 percent- could have major implications for consuming countries.

I must not be very American.... As I CAN adapt: I can ride a bicycle, grow most of my food, patch clothing.. But HEATING during winter fosil energy is needed.

I for one say Americans need to learn HEATING is a priority and all the stupid waste needs to end!

OH, and for get terrorism, what about natural disaster? OR better yet, the world has peaked and oil extraction declines more and more each year, despite demand growing.

@Dorisequador 25,000 years more? Where to you get that information???? I have been reading extensively on multiple sources that the demand of oil will skyrockect in the next 20-50 years and the supply of oil will be exhausted. Reply me with the information you got. If not, Well, I guess is not true what you said......

we have had since 1973 (? first oil crisis) to do something and the PEOPLE, congress and the oil corps have thwarted every move toward solutions. one thing that Jimmy Carter did right was to try to warn us about what was to come. he even put solar panels on the White House. then the foolish or craven Ronald Reagan abolished any actions toward preparing for the future which is Now.

HOMEGROWN SOLUTION...

Tarrif all imported goods, and reduce dependence on other countries. Use the revenue from tarrifs to fund government instead of taxes.
