Ah yes, the US would run to Canada and then Canada would run out. It doesn't matter really, oil will run out in less than 50 years anyway.

the main reason for the push for hybrid cars is to lessen American dependence on foreign oil, not because there is a fear that oil is running out
see pinned thread as to what peak oil is; that is the silent problem that doesn't get much publicity in the mainstream media

I just watched the Saturday 8:00 PM airing of We were
warned: tomorrow's oil crisis, on CNN. See schedule below
for Sunday and Monday airings. The Saturday 4:00 PM airing
did not happen, although I got the text announcing it
(below) from the CNN web site.
It's a confused mish-mash. Worth watching though, for
several reasons. E.g. to see the show avoiding mention of
peak oil and the inexorable progressive decline of oil
production that will follow it. You can bet your bippy that
everyone involved in the production of the show knew a lot
about peak oil. You can bet your bippy that several of their
guests mentioned peak oil--Simmons at least. Several
utterance of peak oil must have wound up on the cutting
room floor. (Do they still have cutting room floors?
Probably not.) By the way, they did an excellent job of
making Simmons look like a nut.
It is interesting to ask oneself what constraint would have
kept them from allowing the show to mention the one concept
that would have given coherence and focus to the show, a
concept almost certainly well known to the producers.
