OT: Peak Oil and the Road Warrior
So I was watching the end of "The Road Warrior" again this weekend and got to thinking about all the "peak oil" theories and such with oil up around $75 a barrel.
Whats everyone think on this topic?
As for me, I think things are going to be getting interesting rather soon.
lets put on our tinfoil hats and have a real conspiracy theory hoedown!
I'll start...
The real reason for the war in Iraq was that Saddam had started selling oil in Euros, a big no-no. When the euro went up and he started making a killing we had to step in as a warning to other oil producing nations,"you keep using US dollars as fiat currency... or else this happens to you". We certainly didn't do anything when the horrible atrocities he committed were actually happening.
IMO this is all just a big trade war between US and EU. Remember how France and Germany were so opposed to the invasion? remmeber the oil contracts they had? UK went in with us... they don't use the euro.
ok.... FLAME ON! :D
