Warns of?   You mean "Dreams of"  don't you?

Everyone is going to have a good job, making enough money to support a family within walking distance of his/her home?  

Really?  Where?  Doing what?  How many people can be employed "on Main Street" in those little local shops?

Where are those gallons of milk going to come from?  

Oh, it will all be wonderful....we will live like in the old days...no, like in the 24th century...Star Trek, where we have "replicators" to magically produce everything we want, no need for money, everybody in the shops just gives away the goods (of which there is never a lack).......

"Wal-Mart's got 6,000 suppliers, 80 percent of them are in China," Steiner said. "They ship this stuff over. They disseminate it across the country with 7,000 trucks to 4,000 different stores. It's a network built on gasoline. Without cheap oil, it doesn't work."

Guys,

  Shipping oil here adds about a penny to the cost of a gallon of gasoline. A PENNY. Oh, JWF is exaggerating. OK. 2 pennies.

 It is called the economy of scale. Those big huge supertankers? They move a lot of oil much cheaper than lots of little ships.

 Again. Again. Again. You think oil, a commodity is going to sky rocket? Invest in oil futures, stocks, whatever and SHUT UP.

Me. I still got all my money wrapped up in beanie babies. They are coming back I tells ya.

Sincerely,

a Veteran of a 1000 psychic wars.

Big Stores: there will be electric trucks, battery technology will make more breakthroughs, whether charged by so-called 'green' energy or nuclear is immaterial, where there is a demand there will be a supply.

For international travel we may have to go back to coal-fired ocean liners, convert that coal to oil or use nuclear-powered ships.

We will still be able to go to the superstore using electric vehicles. These may be buses, trams or private cars. A superstore is actually more efficient on fuel as it is a one-stop shopping experience as opposed to visiting many shops on main street.

Going to school? Again buses, trams or electric mopeds anybody?

I think the only thing he got right is the fate of the airline industry, unless we find another liquid fuel or means of propulsion for aircraft.

Saying "local shops on Main Street" is a ruse.

When this guy and his co-conspirators say "Walk to work" they mean that we will all be packed into high-rise apartment buildings in the cities, where the businesses are. No more living in the suburbs, those areas will be preserved as "open spaces"...preserved for what, God only knows.

That's what drives these guys nuts: the fact that people are destroying beautiful grassland to build houses!  So of course they dream of a day when we are all packed like sardines in the cities, and there is plenty of  open space.  Not to use, but to "preserve"

Imagine a world where every country has nutball environmentalists as powerful and successful as ours.

We need to give thanks every day that there are countries that are willing to make the most of their natural resources that enable our standard of living.

If you go back to 1920, you can find the "we are running out of oil" headlines as shown in the link.  What we are running out of is sense of our politicians to go after OUR oil.

Reform Federal Transportation Funding:

As president, Barack Obama will re-evaluate the transportation funding process to ensure that smart growth considerations are taken into account.

Obama will build upon his efforts in the Senate to ensure that more Metropolitan Planning Organizations create policies to incentivize greater BICYCLE and pedestrian usage of roads and sidewalks, and he will also re-commit federal resources to public mass transportation projects across the country."

From Barack Obama's 46 page booklet on 'Obama Change' 2008.

to dredge up someone that fits in with the obama whacko's,general electric,hansen and gore followers. this kid probably wasn't even around to remember when a gallon of gas was under a buck, but he can spout these wild estimates of what will be in "a few decades".

Man's History can be traced as a progression in the use and control of ever increasing amounts of energy.  From the discovery of fire, to the early use of wind and water power, through the more sophisticated burning of more compact carbon sources such as peat, coal, and eventually oil, to present day rudimentary solar panels and ultimately to the very splitting of the atom.  It's a progression, not a regression.

We can legislate and litigate the United States back to a late 19th century society if we want, but we won't last for long, as the rest of the world pursues newer and more powerful sources of power.

Imagine the prices dropping from $20 to $5 per gallon (or less). 

People will be able to buy their own health insurance with the money they save if they use a tankful  of gas each week. Cheaper home heating oil will add to the savings.

 Drill here, drill now. Buy health insurance. 

Excuse me, Mr.  Steiner, But I heard that we were going to run out of oil in thirty years, over thirty years ago!  I remember the predictions of wars, chaos, and just about everything you're predicting, OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO!  So, what changed to add another thirty years to that prediction?  Oh, that's right, we DIDN'T run out of oil as predicted.  So, Mr. Steiner, if that 30 year prediction was wrong over 30 years ago, why should I believe the same prediction is correct today?

Right, except for those limos the elites need to take them everywhere their tiny hearts desire.  Lying, hypocrites....they just want to guarantee that THEY will have the resources THEY want and we will just have to follow their enviro laws.  Disgusting.

I suggest Mr Steiner spends a month living with the Amish. Don't forget to turn in your IPhone and your car keys at the gate, please.

Before digital cameras, my brother used to talk about people who were predicting the inevitable depletion of all silver because camera photography was going to consume it all. Then we got digital cameras and that idea kind of died.
