Here is the article that might shed some light as to why things are going BatKrap Krazy, and what some results may be: Energy Modeling gone WRONG.
Its a 10 page read single spaced but is spot-on in many. I ended up taking three 5 X 8 index cards of notes, summarized in my impression and summary for the Short-Answer-System:
When it comes to the distribution of goods and services, dependent upon Fossil Fuels, Minerals, and other requirements for daily living, the non-elite masses will get dwindling share of production of these goods, the means to make a living. Thus they will be increasingly unable to afford homes, cars and proper nutrition. This will be attributed to Peak Oil, but be more likely due to economic collapse brought about by system complexity amid dwindling cheap resources. Govt’s will increasingly suppress interest rates, and push stock markets higher in the promise of more goods and services. If and when those promises of increased goods and services are NOT kept, market collapse and thus system collapse will likely follow in varying measure and timing. Any Reset or claims of Peak Oil, will in fact, be a smoke screen for Collapse.
New energy sources with a increased EROI (per capita) could forestall a collapse, and extend the material lives we live. Maybe unfettered innovation could do it, but seems extremely unlikely with the increasing levels of authoritarian government power.
I’d advise to read the article to get a better grip on the ways things are going and may or may not change.
