World is running out of oil

"The era of cheap oil has ended”.

Here we go again. Last time oil got to around USD160 a barrel, where will we go this time? And oil at that price means any economic recovery will stall.

Don’t forget this will impact the price of coal and food. Coal = oil (ie SASOL). Food = oil (ie biofuels). And all of these exacerbate climate change. For South Africa, you can guarantee electricity prices will continue to rise dramatically.
