Yep. That's why my peak oil speech now always starts with: "There's plenty of oil. It's just going to be a lot more expensive."
Then I begin to explain the difference between a gusher and the equivalent tar-sands production facility. all the while I am saying "There's plenty of oil but this is what it's going to take to get it delivered..."
Usually by the end of the conversation I have shot down hydrogen and ethanol without ever having once said "we are in trouble." I can watch the concern grow on their faces though.
Yesterday I had a couple sales guys take me to lunch. They made a nice captive audience. Poor slops didn't know what hit 'em!
heh
poor bastards...
