The money and other rescue efforts that are flooding the markets represents that moment of anti-gravity, that is delaying the time when we need to act to protect ourselves and mitigate the enormous problems that are looming.
The longer the anti-gravity is applied, then longer we (as a collective society) continue on "business as usual", the worse the decent will be and the greater will be the acceleration applied.

What is the general consensus here about what would happen if the gov't announced that PE (peak energy) was a reality and that we could expect a 3 to 5 % reduction in energy availability from here on out?
What would be the reaction of the populace? Moreover, what would be the reaction of the markets and current debt driven economy?
All this doesn't really 'need' to be seen as a conspiracy. It can be seen as 'delaying the inevitable' in the hopes that some miracle will happen or some other energy source will be found to take up where hydrocarbons leave off.

I've been reading the posts here at peak oil and the posts where people explain what they think comes next and some of them are quite severe and doomerish and even bordering on Mad Max, end-of-the-USA kinda stuff.
Does anyone here hold out hope that this is another dip (albeit a severe one) and that USA could dodge the financial apocalypse bullet one more time?
