World oil production has already peaked and will fall by half as soon as 2030, according to a report which also warns that extreme shortages of fossil fuels will lead to wars and social breakdown. The German-based Energy Watch Group will release its study in London today saying that global oil production peaked in 2006 - much earlier than most experts had expected. The report, which predicts that production will now fall by 7% a year, comes after oil prices set new records almost every day last week, on Friday hitting more than $90 (£44) a barrel. "The world soon will not be able to produce all the oil it needs as demand is rising while supply is falling. This is a huge problem for the world economy," said Hans-Josef Fell, EWG's founder and the German MP behind the country's successful support system for renewable energy. The report's author, Joerg Schindler, said its most alarming finding was the steep decline in oil production after its peak, which he says is now behind us. https://www.guardian.co.uk/oil/story/0,,2196435,00.html |

So Middle Eastern and Far Eastern prosperity is not based on oil or rich energy supplies?
One word to answer the question. Nuclear.

Seriously though, it has to happen sometime. Since time immemorial all great civilisations have crashed and burned for some reason, don't expect the current one to be any different (long term). Although maybe technology will bail us out. |

When Oil becomes in such short supply, its price rises above the cost of other energy supplies and people buy those instead. Dont you silly boy me either, you've been getting away with too much lip recently |

There's some really bad logic in this. The world is running out of oil, all the oil is in the middle east, but its the west who will lose all its power? How? Explain the micro-economic dynamics. |

I'm not being selective although you are trying to push it that way. But I'm guessing Euro and the U.S. have the most to lose (loosely termed 'the west'). For instance Russia is awash with natural resources. |
