…as they say on the radio news as you’re tooling down the Interstate in the Family Truckster:
“The prices that we’re paying at the pump today are, I think, going to be ‘the good old days,’ because others who watch this very closely forecast that we’re going to be hitting $12 and $15 a gallon, and then, after that, when world oil production goes into decline, we’re going to talk about rationing,” Robert Hirsch, Management Information Services Senior Energy Advisor, said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “In other words, not only are we going to be paying high prices and have considerable economic problems, but in addition to that, we’re not going to be able to get the fuel when we want it.”
Whether Hirsch is precisely accurate or not, the way we live is about to change. Given some sane political leadership and a populace accepting of reality, I don’t think it’s anything we can’t cope with and adjust to. But will we get those givens?
