President Bush has told leaders of the oil-rich states of the Middle East that they must face up to a future without their precious hydrocarbons, says The Scotsman.

In a stark warning, he said their supplies were running out and urged them to reform and diversify their economies.

Somehow still Bush comes off as arrogant fool. The world will have to do without but no mention of US having to go without.

But he won't tell his own people that they must face up to a future without their precious cars.

Ironically he could actually salvage some shred of respectability as far as the history books go by levelling with the American people and telling them what a feces storm they are about to face, putting steps in to deal with the problem a la the Hirsch report.

But, he won't.

So on my "OH crap" meter, hearing Bush say something at that economic forum so openly about oil decline makes it rise a bit. So should I take this as one of the bigger signs that the proverbial crap will hit the fan within a year or so, if not this late summer?

I'm sure the Saudis are thanking Allah that George was able to clear that up for them.

Yeah, we were on that path when we were set to install American-designed nuclear reactors in Iran way back in 1978. I wonder what happened to those... Rolling Eyes Wink

He told the conference: "The rising price of oil has brought great wealth to some in this region, but the supply of oil is limited, and nations like mine are aggressively developing alternatives to oil.

"Over time, as the world becomes less dependent on oil, nations in the Middle East will have to build more diverse and more dynamic economies."


This is to laugh

The ME Gulf will not have to do without oil for this entire century. They will be able to produce enough to meet domestic needs for many decades. I do not understand why George Bush, or anyone else for that matter, is so concerned about them.
