SVOboy hit it on the head. People will end up paying more directly, and probably the same overall, for energy, so they'll use it more efficiently. Jobs and taxes are something else entirely. We could have 10x the oil we have now and still see counties charging more in taxes, and we could have an extremely low energy economy and still have good employment. For all I know, most of the doom and gloom is propagated by fossil fuel companies.
