It could be done, but it will mean a lot more people living on the edge, and a lot less energy intensive car suburbs around the world.

65 mbpd by 2030 means NO exports. And 65 is too optimistic.

That's a pretty bold prediction. Are you expecting that much growth in countries that currently export, with the world around them collapsing? Would there be no oil for food programs going on? I suppose the cereals we export to 100+ countries is just junk paper too. That's good, they won't miss those imports then, I'm sure they're not needed. You paint a simplistic picture that the US is evil, and therefore will be cut off from the world. I believe the problem is much more complex than that. Everyone is going to be knocked down a few levels, that includes China and India, and of course the US.
