Shell Oil Scenarios_Taxi Ride to Sustainable Energy
Great video about the energy choices facing the world
This video is a great examination of two possible "Scenarios" for the world.

Produced by Royal Dutch Shell, aka Shell Oil, this is a thorough examination of the vastly different outcomes we will achieve by "talking" about our energy challenges versus "taking action" to overcome these challenges.

The Blueprints Scenario corresponds exactly with the vision of Endependence.info. People, businesses and governments take action locally to address their energy challenges, and those local actions combine to move the world to end dependence on polluting fuels.

$500.00 per barrel oil, $16.00 per gallon gas in three to five years
Energy Analyst predicts doomsday scenario
Dr. Robert Hirsch, Management Information Services Inc. senior energy advisor and CNBC's Becky Quick discuss his view of the impending energy crisis.

Not sure if converting coal to liquid fuel is a good solution due to the amount of energy needed to liquify the coal, but the thought of oil this expensive should spark some drastic behavior modification.

If this guy is right, sounds like we should move this "liquid fuel" challenge to the top of the list of addictions we need to kick, soon.

Four dollars a gallon is painful, what would four times that much be like?
