Hmm.. you think it's true, and you think it's funny?

I've been studying this for awhile, and horrifyingly, its true... and the scary thing, is that all of will be affected by the time we are 40!! If you really think about oil in production and daily use, what will happen to the economy is truly scary.

Yes...the part that freaks me out is his predictions of the population drop.

Maybe the calculation didn't factor in new, alternative forms of energy production being discovered and used within the near future? The Hydrogen cell technology is getting very advanced (BMW is testing it), so maybe that, and other alternatives can prolongue the depletion of the oil reserves?

It is true that eventually we will run out of oil. Very true. There are several solutions though, and people managed to live without oil and electric before. I think the death toll estimations are a little too high. I do believe that it will be harder for people to live, especially the very young and the very old. They are researching alternative sources of energy, and even though it's dangerous more Nuclear Power plants could be built. I seriously don't believe that so much stuff will happen.

...i think the death toll estimates are too high as well.

other then that i think it's all true and umm....stuff...

Eh...Its could be true, could be very true. Or it could be a bunch of overexaggerated garbage. Yea. Thats what im going to go with. Overexaggerated garbage.
