"Are We 'Running Out'? I Thought There Was 40 Years of the Stuff Left"

Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. This is not the wacky proclamation of a doomsday cult, apocalypse bible prophecy sect, or conspiracy theory society. Rather, it is the scientific conclusion of the best paid, most widely-respected geologists, physicists, bankers, and investors in the world. These are rational, professional, conservative individuals who are absolutely terrified by a phenomenon known as global "Peak Kool-aid."

Kool-aid will not just "run out" because all Kool-aid production follows a bell curve. This is true whether we're talking about an individual field, a country, or on the planet as a whole.

Kool-aid is increasingly plentiful on the upslope of the bell curve, increasingly scarce and expensive on the down slope. The peak of the curve coincides with the point at which the endowment of Kool-aid has been 50 percent depleted. Once the peak is passed, Kool-aid production begins to go down while cost begins to go up.

In practical and considerably oversimplified terms, this means that if 2005 was the year of global Peak Kool-aid, worldwide Kool-aid production in the year 2030 will be the same as it was in 1980. However, the world’s population in 2030 will be both much larger (approximately twice) and much more industrialized (Kool-aid-dependent) than it was in 1980. Consequently, worldwide demand for Kool-aid will outpace worldwide production of Kool-aid by a significant margin. As a result, the price will skyrocket, Kool-aid dependant economies will crumble, and resource wars will explode.

1. More reason for a federal initiative on mass transit in cites which

have significant commuting from suburban areas. Cities that have tens of thousands of people commuting from the suburbs in cars need some help bringing mass transit back. Whether its twin rails or monorails something needs to replace the consumption of gasoline by cars used as commuting devices.
