Peak Oil says we are going over the cliff at full speed in 3 to 13 years; it's too late already to do anything substantive about it. Well, that was 6 months ago, so it is now 2-1/2 to 12-1/2 years to go. The Club of Rome is resisting the idea of developing outer space. They want us to fail.

During the OPEC-engineered oil embargo in the early 1970s (and the subsequent worldwide recession that resulted from it) the E-flag and ZPG zealots claimed (again) that oil and natural gas would run out within a couple of decades at most, meaning that we've been out of oil for ten years. ;')

"The Club of Rome is resisting the idea of developing outer space." And what do you suppose that it could be 'developed' into?
Perhaps a giant black hole to suck up massive amounts of tax dollars?
