When we have to rely on our own oil resources and it is going to be abrupt when it happens, how will you survive?
Of coarse bicycles will be popular. Horses will make a comeback, but why about all the things you use daily? The simple things you take for granted?
When the word oil comes up in the USA, the majority of people think gasoline.
They have lost sight that everything you touch, has oil somehow in the mix, from actual composition, to shipping and transportation.
The writing is on the wall. Major turmoil is brewing in the middle east.
You think $3 gas is outrageous?
What is your plan, if gasoline is no longer for consumer usage and only basic stuff is available?
It won't happen overnight. We have time to adjust. Look how far we have compensated for the demise of oil just in the last decade. Wind and solar energy have taken off. Electric cars are no longer a joke. Less plastic is being used in packaging. Recycling is common.
The Mideast is always a concern. But they are not our only, or even largest, suppliers. The largest supplier of crude oil and petroleum to the U.S. is Canada. Mexico is the second largest supplier in both crude and petroleum. These are both stable, U.S. friendly nations.

Lastly, horses will never make a comeback.
You're dreaming! "Wind and solar have taken off?" The only thing that has taken off is the hype and taxpayer subsidies. Nothing has happened in the last 30 years (because that's when Carter started his syn-fuels program) that has demonstrated that so-called althernative sources of energy are viable scientifically, let alone economically. "Taken off?" Wind and solar produce less than 4% of energy consumed in this nation. And that's not going to change any time soon. Wake up and smell the coffee!

Throw up random windmills and solar panels.WTF win the future
I can ride my bike to the grocery store, the question in my mind is: will there be anything on the grocery store shelves, and if so, will I be able to afford it?

No..ride your bike to the local Farmers Market..there will be food there you can buy.
90% of the food in supermarkets would disappear with not enough oil.

We need to tell the greenies to **** off and drill here at home. The president has said we consume too much of the world's resources, and he wants us less dependent on foreign oil, here is his chance.
Actually, I think 0bama would be pleased if we had $7/gal gasoline prices. I remember one of the people in 0bama's administration making the comment that we need to find a way to get the US prices for gasoline up to the level they are paying in Europe.

We don't have to even go that far - we grow and preserve our own produce from our gardens, apple trees, and berry patches. There is a large Amish population here - you can learn a lot from them. They'll do just fine.
