Era prosperity ma się ku końcowi; wszak nic nie trwa wiecznie
US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation
Energy Insecurity
"Welcome to the age of energy insecurity. Worldwide production will peak. The
result will be skyrocketing prices, with a huge, sustained economic shock.
Jobs will be lost. Without action, the crisis will certainly bring energy
rivalries, if not energy wars. Vast wealth will be shifted, probably away from
the U.S. For the last 20 years, U.S. policy has discouraged production and
encouraged consumption. If we dither any more, we will pay a terrible price,
the economic equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. Katrina was Category 4."
