After we reach "Peak Oil" (and we may have already reached it) it is a downward slope of oil production until we completely run out of oil. The world needs an alternative supply of energy, very soon, or we will face a downward spiral of economic troubles caused by an increasingly lower supply of oil until we reach worldwide economic collapse.
