My guess is when energy starts becoming expensive in the true sense you will see jobs dissappear, wages drop massively, prices skyrocket and property taxes become impossibly high. Around here they want to increase property taxes because of foreclosures, makes good sense eh?
So even if you can live off the land as it were you probably will loose your property if it gets that bad.

Moving from the US to Japan is basically a microcosm of what it would be like in the US if energy stopped being cheap.
I pay 3x what you people pay for electricity, which is pro-rated to charge more if I use lots, 2x for gas, 2x for natural gas, have to buy trashbags to throw out my trash, etc etc on and on. No big deal though.
When people get used to having 90% of their money to spends on things they don't need, that's where problems arise, in my opinion.
