The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

As Boone Pickins pointed out, "The world wide demand is 88 Million Barrels a Day, and we only produce 85"
It is basic geology. We peaked on Crude production in May 2005 at 88 million barrels (have not exceeded that output,
and it is questionable we can- we will see). Total liquids (biofuels, etc) peaked in July 2006.
There really is no substitute in "alternative energies" available.
Things are getting interesting, and very local waters will become more important in my life, along with bicycles.
