When I read articles like that, my response is that the U.S. has not even begun to treat the oil supply as critical.
We play games with Saudis and let the big corporations basically run the show. How many times in the past 20 years has the U.S. government proactively seized control of an oil supply? How many times do you think that will happen in the next 20 years, if that article is correct?
On topics like this, the doomsayers are quick to point out how terrible things will be, but they always assume that the world as we know it today will plod along with minimal changes (except the ones they foretell, of course). Turn that on it's head, figure the U.S. and China splits the oil producing capacity of the world between them, and the timeline is very different.
