Re: Time when americans will stop drinking blood
they use so much because oil is cheap, and does not currently have the long term environmental damage priced into it. americans can afford to guzzle so much gas monetarily - they can pay for it; indians, chinese etc might have huge populations but they can't afford it.
all this talk of oil production peaking and drying has been on for decades. so far there has been no conclusive evidence to this. what looks like ginormous oil reserves have been located a few miles deeper than we currently sip from.
