Get used to it --  the "peak oil" moment seems nearly here, and finally 
starting to get attention in mainstream media:

On the bright side, it needn't be a problem so long as there's a desire 
to be proactive about it:

FWIW, my office is mostly lit with compact flourescent bulbs, I do most 
of my errands by walking or riding my bicycle, and contractors and 
employees are encouraged to telecommute.  These things are easy for just 
about any company to do, and provide immediate ROI while also helping 
the long-term bigger picture; better profits and a better planet at the 
same time. Be wary of naysayers:  sustainability makes business sense.\
