YES, THIS IS THE REAL LOOMING CRISIS

Even conservative stalwart James Baker is recognizing our looming hydrocarbon crisis.

"I think we need to go forward with some sort of gradual, resourceful search for alternative sources," Baker said.

Baker was addressing the threat of global warming. But there ain't enough global warming to offset the chill left when our home heating fuel runs out. (Man, that's happened to me twice already this winter).

It doesn't matter how many OPEC countries we "regime change," there is just not enough oil under the ground to last too much longer.
