The Appleton (Wisconsin)
Post-Crescent editorializes on the looming energy crisis:
It took mankind 100 years to use 1 trillion barrels of oil. It will take us about 15 years to use the next trillion.
You don't need to be an economist, geologist or mathematician to understand what that means.
Whether you're a pessimist who thinks the planet was only endowed with 3 trillion barrels of recoverable oil or an optimist who believes there are 10 trillion barrels, that exponential rate cannot be ignored.
America must, right now, focus itself on finding energy solutions for the future. It must be our No. 1 priority. And Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5.
