I blogged about this a while ago - and finally there's something in the media about it. We're in much more serious shit than we realise. This current crisis, though generally considered to be caused by banks and unsafe mortgages, is actually rooted in high oil prices, both attracting investment and therby reducing investment in other sectors, at the same time, higher oil prices reduces profit for almost everyone. The clever businesses hare already reducing their oil-dependence.
