The upcoming big crisis

Brace yourself.

It's coming.

Yes.

The petrol hike.

I hate it. You hate it too. But our government is going to enforce it as the current price for a barrel of crude oil is about whopping 99 USD. And its implications even though before its enforcement? One thing that i'm sure is that things are more expensive nowadays! Roti diana that used to cost me RM3.50, now are selling at the price of RM4.00. CRAP. Hup Seng cream crackers are selling at nearly RM3.50, an increase of nearly RM0.50-0.70 compared to a year ago. No more Hup Seng for supper. Even Roti Gardenia's price is 20 cents more expensive! Prices went up like nobody's business!

But hey, whats the big deal right? I'll just have to study harder, get good grades and secure a job with nice pay, work harder to impress my boss and hope for salary increment at the end of the year, perhaps getting bonuses as well and all the problems above are "poof"! Wrong! You are not seeing the big picture here. Go get your specs before you continue reading.

I was just like you guys, until i stumbled upon one article that changes my mind, totally.

This is serious shit.

This isn't about us having to pay more money for our car's petrol.

This is about the crisis that we are going to face in the next few years time.

The one that's going to hit everyone in the world, in just a matter of time, if the solution to this shit is yet to be found.

Our world right now, is producing more oil everyday. Sooner or later, global oil production will reach a point called the "peak oil", where the rate of production will be maximum at that time. After that, comes the decline. This means, oil barrel production will decrease day by day, while the demand for oil will keep increasing, due to the worldwide industrial growth and increasing worldwide population. Experts already predicted that oil production will decrease by about 2% every year while the demand for crude oil will increase by 3% every year by then. Things are just going to be costlier, as almost everything in the world relies on oil. From electricity that are usually generated using oil and coals, automobiles that requires gas to move ( orewuwa nissan sunny!!), industries that requires crude oil for its productions, i.e Durex condom manufacturing, natural gases for producing fertilisers for farming purposes, to the very basic needs of cooking oil to cook my Roti Diana.

"So what? We still have alot of reserves. It's going to take like another 20 years for the reserves to fully depleted. Chill la. We've got time mah. If not, god will help us 1."

Noob. You just been first blooded.

How i wish that things are much simpler this way. But it ain't like that. A mere decrease of 5-10% of global oil production when the demand is high is enough to skyrocket the price of 1 barrel of crude oil and possibly starting a war, with the purpose of conquering other countries for their oil reserves or energy sources. Things are just going to turn bad and i just can't imagine how bad it will be. This shit, is really shitty. Shitter.

Alright, enough about global issues. What about our country?

According to experts, our country will import more petroleums than exporting it by 2011, because our reserves are draining up as i blog now. This means, things will be MORE expensive in the future again. PETRONAS won't be able to save our government's ass that much in the future. I can't eat Roti Diana anymore. Hup Seng will costs RM10. And our worst nightmare. Petrol's simply going to cost so much, middle class men like me will have rely on public transportation to reach my destination instead of driving my Nissan "Felali" Sunny. Guess i'll just have to park my car under the shade nia lor.lol.
