Duas previsões relativas ao futuro pós-petróleo

[*]
Embora aqueles que admitem a existência de um problema com o
declínio do petróleo sejam uma pequena minoria da espécie
humana, podemos ainda assim dizer que operando nesse âmbito existe um
espectro de opinião bastante diversificado. Na ausência de
liturgias, credos ou cânones, nenhumas definições absolutas
são possíveis, mas em todo o caso parece haver dois pólos
intelectuais.
