Oil Famine is not about the lack of oil. Oil Famine occurs as social instability breaks the long and complex supply chain required to extract and deliver oil energy.
Life requires energy. Oil energy is capital intensive. When capital fails to invest, Oil Famine results. Syria is the first wave of Oil Famine:
Oil Famine is not a lack of oil. It is a supply chain collapse.
Resources to understand the coming Oil Famine:
Geology is slow and relentless. US Peak Oil was in 1970. Until US Peak Oil, the price of gasoline was stable
Peak oil, climate change and pipeline geopolitics driving Syria conflict

Regardless of our wishes. Life requires energy. Oil is finite. The unconstitutional Federal highway monopoly binds the survival of American to oil. This oil addiction is terminal, by about 2019.
Fracking is desperation, not a solution.
“Extraordinary advances in technology have transformed energy exploration and production. Yet we produce 39 percent less oil today than we did in 1970, leaving us ever more reliant on foreign suppliers. On our present course, America 20 years from now will import nearly two of every three barrels of oil–a condition of increased dependency on foreign powers that do not always have America’s interests at heart."

US Peak Oil was in 1970. Life requires energy. Oil is finite. Life and nations powered by oil are terminal. Near collapse in 2008 will replay by about 2020.
Peak Oil is not about a lack of oil; there is a lot of oil left in America. Peak Oil is the economic event when the cost to extract oil exceeds the price people afford to buy gasoline made from it.
The Law of Supply and Demand:
Between 1970 and 2008 depleting US oil production created four trends that shape America's present:
In September 2008 debt and foreclosures nearly world economy. Instead of solving the problem by exercising the self-discipline to become energy self-reliant, the Federal "bailout" borrowed an additional $6 and $14 trillion. The zero interest rates caused $200 billion to be invested in Fracking. Frackers, deploying 2,000 drilling rigs for years, used this investment to increase US Oil produciton by 5 million barrels per day (mb/d). When Saudi Arabia did not cut it production to match the US increase, oil prices dropped, Frackers went bankrupt and the number of drilling rigs dropped to 400.
Fracking and recession bought time. US Peak Fracking was in June 2015. Since Peak Fracking, US oil production has been decreasing at 1 million barrels per day (mb/d) per year. This is the equivalent of one 1973 Oil Embargo. This rate of decline will continue for at least 3 more year. Before 2020, decreasing US oil production and increasing dependence on foreign oil will repeat the crisis of 2008. Life requires energy. Oil is finite. Life powered by oil is terminal.
Logistics have mass and momentum. Like watching two ship on a collision, the crisis resulting from momentum is created long before the actual impact. Will experience a crisis exceeding 2008 by 2020 based on logistical momentum. We cannot avoid the crisis. We can mitigate the harm.
