Collapse Assignment 2 - Short and Smart

i read the first article an this is what andy went over in class today. the oil has a vertex of the amount of barrels sold per day by the millions. the graph that was shown said that this genration hit our "peak oil" which is the vertex/high point around 2004-2006 selling over 80 millions barrels of oil a day. as everybody know that after the vertex the graph starts to go down ether rapidly or slowly. our genration is going down slow. after 2011 or 2012 is when the drop will happen an that is when the price of the oil will raise because we are running out of oil. they said that we wont run out of oil fully but we are running out of the amount that we need to keep our economy running.
"The human body is 70 percent water. The body of a 200 pound man thus holds 140 pounds of water. Because water is so crucial to everything the human body does, the man doesn't need to lose all 140 pounds of water weight before collapsing due to dehydration. A loss of as little as 10-15 pounds of water may be enough to kill him". this is the best example to connect to the oil. what this is saying is that we dont need to run out of all the oil to start dying off.
