Decades of declining available energy will force a country to reorganize politically, take energy from another, or collapse in anarchy. Some countries will use violence to increase their “fraction” of the remaining energy — which will decrease another’s fraction. If the most-powerful countries begin to take energy from each other, it will inevitably lead to a new round of world wars over resources!
<!-- -->Resource wars killed over 100 million people in the last century. A recent report by UNITED STATES JOINT FORCES COMMAND put it this way:
<!-- -->“A severe energy crunch is inevitable without a massive expansion of production and refining capacity. While it is difficult to predict precisely what economic, political, and strategic effects such a shortfall might produce, it surely would reduce the prospects for growth in both the developing and developed worlds. Such an economic slowdown would exacerbate other unresolved tensions, push fragile and failing states further down the path toward collapse, and perhaps have serious economic impact on both China and India. At best, it would lead to periods of harsh economic adjustment. To what extent conservation measures, investments in alternative energy production, and efforts to expand petroleum production from tar sands and shale would mitigate such a period of adjustment is difficult to predict. One should not forget that the Great Depression spawned a number of totalitarian regimes that sought economic prosperity for their nations by ruthless conquest.”[ http://tinyurl.com/32wrwjd ]
