I got a kick out of Yergin advocating increased reliance on Canadian oil sands. It just shows how desperate Yergin must really feel the situation is. He also mentioned an interesting measure of total US energy consumption per day: 46 million barrels of oil equivalent.

I guess I should be encouraged that there's at least *some* official (public) discussion in the US on what may lie ahead re oil supply. But is it just talk?

Was there a "Sub Prime Committee" established *before* TSHTF?
