The fact of the matter is we will not be going back anytime soon. The energy concerns will bring about many changes in what were solid industries, such as oil. Food will also be an issue. In many places the droughts coupled with global warming are killing crop production.
Cut your quote down, hope you don't mind. We also have to remember that corn production has been affected by ethenol research and production, wheat production goes outside the US, and the oil industry is shutting down pumps and rigs all over the place. A good friend of mine in the oil industry told me the other day that his company closed like 80 something rigs in the last two weeks.
