We will know we are in a pickle when folks start starving so their food can be turned into fuel.

It got started by federal mandate through the EPA. Farmers didn't have a thing to say about it but they have the common sense to know it ain't right. When corn prices go up, the price of beef goes up and so on. You have to look at all the facets before you can place the blame. Look at the price of diesel after they mandated removal of sulphur. EPA again and again. Watch out for the doom sayers. If they scare you enough you'll let them do whatever they think is best but that may not be whats best for all in the long run.

Mankind is basically using up this planets resources in the quest for an answer to solve all of our problems. The question about whether we will find the answers to those problems before we run out of resources is inspiration for the doomsday folks.

If I have to, I'll convert to natural gas to get by. It's not easy to contemplate change but somewhere along the line someone has to do it. The big problem is that corporate greed will shut down production of gasoline if fuel needs surge toward a different type of fuel because it becomes a nitch market and they won't make enough money.
