As a reminder that it is those of us in the rich nations (those âservedâ by the IEA) that will have the real problem with peak oil, a slide in one of Matt Simmonsâs latest and highly recommended presentations [ http://www.simmonsco-intl.com/files/TCU%20Neeley%20School%20Of%20Business.pdf ] shows that the US uses over 100 times more oil per person than Bangladeshis, and nearly 30 times as much as the Chinese, who are even now trying so hard to âcatch up.â It shows how far they would have to go, and how even with their still relatively modest use when they start to open the throttle, how much the global oil markets are now being destabilized. Indians meanwhile, consuming half the Chinese per capita level, are only just beginning.
