Your reaction is typical of most people when faced with the reality that a basic critical resource we have always take for granted cannot continually grow and that there is currently nothing that can fill the void it will leave. History teaches us that empires fall and civilizations fail. Science teaches us that fossil resources are finite. Mathmatics tells us that when you are extracting more oil than you are replacing with new discoveries that production must eventually decline. Common sense should tell us that we face a new world situation where we will be forced to adjust to less energy on a per capita basis and where life as we have known it will be forever changed. Denial will not erase reality.
