Demand outstripping supply for oil.

There is still plenty of beautiful nature we haven't drilled the **** out of to exploit for its oil, so I think that prediction is a bit off. Eventually though, we will run out of oil, but with the expontential rate of growth in technology it can't be that far off that we will figure out cold fusion or antimatter or some virtually limitless source of energy. In the meantime there will be a lot of hippies complaining as natural sanctuaries are pillaged and a bunch of small oil wars and conflicts take place.

I think Antarctica is going to be a big conflict when Russia, England, Canada, and the US all start trying to take some of the resources it has.
