I'm with Smallpox girl. $185 - 200 floor would be the right thing to do. People would still drive, but we could use any overage to prepare post-oil infrastructure.

Very good video. The graphic about going from 1:100 to 1:1 EROEI was particularly powerful. I also liked the caveman to caveman picture. Our situation is dire.

It's helpful to grasp the significance of these rises in prices by thinking of them as a pay cut. Your earnings stay the same, but you can't buy as much.
