erm, it would seem to matter quite a bit to the man on the street because it means inflation goes up on nearly everything, food gets more expensive, taxes go up to support overgrown government structures, in short its a snooker that you will have a real hard time getting out of.
How about a solution? Hemp oil could provide fuel of a comparable strength to crude oil, but would be renewable, surely its worth a try?
