Demand outstripping supply for oil.

[Maid]

I have read that by 2010 we might reach peak oil supply and after that face a gradual decline, seeing how population and demand keeps growing for oil. Wont this have rather catastrophic effects? Since we use oil practically in everything.

If that is true, prolonged Iraq occupation makes more sense in the long run, I guess.

I also have read about alternatives, and none of them are feasible on industrial scale.
