If you don't mind I am planning on writing about almost all of these issues as I go through how the industry has changed.  But in terms of the question - if someone came up and said "I don't care how much it costs, I want that oil", providing they provided the money and resources, then they could get it.

It is the costs, among other things, that I will try and put in context with the technology as I try and give the background to this.  (And to just give an example of what I meant by money and resources -  with infinite wealth they could put pumps at the sea shore in California, desalinate the water and pump it to Colorado to provide all the water needed - whether that would be something you would want to do is, of course, another question - grin).

Exactly, and that's why I favor the silver BB theory of Roger. The immediate thing to do is try to become carbon nuetral and energy efficent. Buy local. Learn a real skill that produces a real good or service, in other words West Texas's ELP program. Its going to take all of us pulling together to make any real progress, and other people will follow a good example.
