The real trick in the US is the Democrats know but are holding back so as not to panic the public, whereas the if the republicans were in power, they'd let it out so the markets could absorb what little consumer cash is still in the hands of the public.

Despite being made up of 27 countries, the EU doesn't seem to suffer the same sort of political paralysis that the US does and the ultra-right hasn't the same kind of power in most of Europe as it does in the USA.

The truth hurts.

First off, they don't take into consideration the slow rise to the apex of the bubble that the downward slope will be just as gradual in the beginning. There should be time enough to re-arrange the deck chairs.

Europeans already pays out the nose for gasoline at the pump whereas Americans still pay the bare minimum. Guess who's gonna be screaming the loudest once peak oil is announced and the price at the pump goes over $10 a gallon?

Europe is in better shape to weather an oil peak than the US. I can see fuel being rationed to citizens and more being funneled to farmers. Truckers will be off the autobahns and trains will be the mover of goods with trucks only used for local delivery services. Trains will be back in vogue and perhaps many of the small lines that were up-railed will be put back into service. Buses are always plentiful still between small communities near a rail head.

The real trick is what to do about all those items we've all become accustomed to that require oil in one form or another? How does one synthesis oil? Can one? Or is there a substitute material for oil that could be used?

I wonder if peak oil is around the corner or will be in 10 years from now. That's the problem...the governmnets...all of them...know far more about the peak oil crisis than they are letting on to and they're being tight lipped not letting their citizens in on the problem.

So let the panic begin!
