[QUOTE="Chris-PA, post: 3580166, member: 67290"] The oil is being controlled by the same thing that keeps your beer bottle from giving you beer forever. We passed the world wide maximum rate of oil production some years ago (and we passed the US peak in the early 1970's). Finite things run out - in this case we'll still have oil for a very long time, but we used up the easy-to-get-to, high quality stuff. So the rate of production is falling and the price rising at the same time population and the desire for it is rising. The government can't do a damn thing about it, other than use force to try to get us a bigger share of what's left. It's less scary to think there's someone controlling this and making it happen rather than recognizing that we have no control over it. Everyone who promises you they can fix peak oil is a fool and/or a liar. [/QUOTE]
