Re: US military warns "we're running out of oil".

This is actually a very intelligent, and forward looking report by the US military. I remember being told back in Gulf 1, that a modern Armoured Division, under combat conditions burns in excess of 100,000 ltrs of fuel a day. Thats a hell of a lot of diesel in anyone's books. Considering the state of the world's economies, persistent droughts in area's of high cereal production, increasing global temperatures thanks to global warming, religious and political instability in regions bordering oil/gas producing nations, etc etc etc....

So for a change the American Military are taking a look at the future to try to ensure they can keep their tanks rolling.... Seems eminently sensible to me....
