If only the available IPv4 address space were growing as rapidly as the available oil...

1960s: Peak oil 1995 @12.5 billion barrels/year.

Today: Peak oil 2035, current production is over 2.5X the previously predicted peak.

There's also an increasing expectation that rather than "peak oil" being a supply-side constraint, it will be a demand-side constraint as more efficient use and alternative energy sources become available - that is, we will never "run out".

peak oil is really about EROI; we'll never run out, but there are reservoirs that aren't going to be produced because it doesn't make economic/energetic sense to do so.

If I could NAT my gas tank the world would be a very different place.

i.e. ride the bus?

That's not NAT, that's everyone looking at one computer screen scheduled to visit the same 10 web sites repeatedly all day.

What...I don't even...what does that even mean?

Don't be silly.
