Not just SUV drivers.  Oil fuels everything we do in our modern society.  If you like to eat or buy anything at all, the price of everything is going to go up, UP, UP!

 

Look for the current global recession to become a major Global Depression.

 

The instability in the Middle East and Europe will be getting much worse as food and necessities become scarce and extremely expensive, and the costs of moving them from where they are produced to where they are consumed becomes more than the people who need them can afford to pay.  It'll be world-wide but the more "developed" countries that have huge populations that are further removed from food and essential products will be hit hardest and will suffer the greatest deprivations and privation.   At a certain point hungry masses in the cities become roving zombies searching for food and payback from whomever they can get their hands on.

 

The last time things got this bad there were Archdukes getting assassinated and Herrs Schicklegruber and Dzhugashvili using the political instability to further their careers in public service.  Lots of people were inconvenienced for a few years all over the world.

 

It's nothing to giggle and gloat about.  If peak oil is coming soon we are all pretty much fracked.

Anyone who's been paying attention has known for years that Saudi Arabia was approaching terminal decline.

I haven't read the article yet but they had past that point a while ago and will prolly stick with the "we are fine" lines for some time to go still. I wouldn't doubt that they aren't the only ones in that same spot either. If anything real was "leaked" I would suspect it was on purpose. But I'm no political science major so what do I know

Then why don't you post a link to the new data? So anyone can easily validate your statement.
