70s Gas Shortages? What happened? What could happen Today?

Unread postby mmasters » Tue 12 Jun 2007, 17:21:41

I'm a younger forum member (I was only born in the late 70s), so this question is more for the older crowd:

What exactly happened during the 70s gas shortages and how would you relate your experience then to the possibility of it all happening over again today?

History rhymes.

Read up on the 70's and you'll have a good idea of what the beginning of the crash will be like.

Read up on the 30's and you'll know what the middle will be like.

The end is anyone's guess - but I think it will be unprecedented.
