Wait for the inevitable 21st century oil shock in the other direction, as in over $200 a barrel or something. We eat oil today, bad planning. All it takes is a few Allah Ackbars over there in the ME, a Russian bear gone berserk, a rogue China...the possibilities are endless.

Here's why. Higher population equals higher demand.
Short answer? Jews.
