Re: “You probably want to at least understand the correlation and how IMMENSELY strong it is.”
I haven't ignored your post; I just don't know what to do about it if you are right. Is there something I should be doing in preparation for this that I'm not already doing by preparing for a financial collapse? I can't very well pack away 50,000 gallons of oil in my barn or even on my land...

I don't think solar or wind power work very well. And I'm ALREADY making the new house as energy efficient as I reasonably can.

So, if oil is going to soon be too expensive for anyone to afford, and everything else is going be unaffordable, what else can we do? Grow our own food? I've already learned how hard it is to do that without fertilizer and herbicides. And storing more than a year's worth of canned food is impractical due to space and spoilage. What about medicines? Those of us who depend on them are utterly screwed, aren't we?

I do know that humans have a remarkable ability to find solutions to their worst problems. This may only happen after incredible pain and suffering, but perhaps solar power that actually works, or fusion power, will get us out of the hole you're describing. It might take a few years and I don't know how many of us will be around to see it when it happens. Maybe there'll be some real wars first, and NONE of us will be here.

Graph showing conventional crude hit "peak" in 2005 and has dropped massively since then, with other lower quality types of hydrocarbon increasingly substituted since then.
