They say preppers should wear tin foil hats. However, preppers may be the only people that survives what is coming. There is too much going on for their not to be some future disruption of sevices and today that would probably mean war. What will you do when oil reaches $300 per barrel?
Last week oil reached a new record of $102, closing in on its inflation-adjusted peak, as a slumping dollar on lackluster US economic data triggered a surge across commodities markets.
Opec’s president said members have subsequently agreed not to raise oil production in part because of fears of a demand slowdown. This is inviting huge spikes in oil prices and this article will present, high oil prices will lead to the further implementation of Agenda 21 policies which discourage personal automobile use as well as fostering the neded to live in stack and pack cities.

Producers, Andurand said in the tweets, are afraid of peak oil demand resulting from the growing adoption of electric vehicles, and this is stopping them from investing in more new production. “So paradoxically these peak demand fears might bring the largest supply shock ever,” Andurand said.
Oil prices could top $300 per barrel within the next five years, according to industry expert, Matthew Simmons.
From Arabian Business:
Matthew Simmons, chairman and founder of specialised energy investment banking firm, Simmons & Company International, said the current highs of $100 per barrel are “cheap”.
“I think the supply is showing some very troubling signs that we might well have already peaked and started [to slow] down. If we haven’t, we are very close to it,” he told Arabian Business. “Demand on the other hand shows absolutely no sign of slowing down because we are now at $100 a barrel, which I still think is a preposterously cheap price…
