I'm curious how many people here have seen Syriana. It's an interesting movie, but it also brought up a very good point about developing infrastructure. If we don't develop our infrastructure at least to the point that we can have fossil fuels "hand the baton" to the next, viable energy source, we are going to be in a world of trouble. Yes, maybe even to the point of returning to mid-19th century lifestyles. On individual levels, I'm sure people will be able to maintain a basic quality of life (nothing like what we enjoy now), but on the governmental and corporate levels, I think global (and even national) businesses might be difficult to maintain.
If it gets to that point, then it will be "forced austerity" for sure.
