We will also be eating grass-fed animals and lots of locally grown veggies, since grains are totally tied to modern big-ag (read petroleum based) farming practices.


I agree 100% with Zuleikaa. Deano, that's a fantasy world. If the prices went higher than people could afford, those energy producers would be out of business as would everyone involved in technology. No, the market will keep things in check and technology will advance.
