In other words, if you agree that there is lots of energy at
higher prices than those consistent with Hummers in every garage, and if you agree that political
manipulation in almost every country (including the US) to keep
prices down is hurting us more and more every day, and you note from ample literature, demonstrations, and at least a dozen European countries where energy use used both more efficiently and more carefully
than in the US, you have to conclude that the forecasts of continued rapid growth in demand will be cut off at the pass, so to speak, by
higher prices, drying up of subsidies, and above all more efficient and more careful energy use, fewer miles run and all that.
