I tried to represent graphically the message contained in the posts by 'Gail the Actuary' on the link between peak oil and peak debt at http://ourfiniteworld.com.

We have come together in the past to pool our resources and meet great challenges. The question is whether we can do it again? The current debates in Washington and Brussels suggest we may not be able to work together to the degree needed.
