What is not being discussed rationally by the mainstream media is Katrina’s impact on energy production. They don’t dare. By my calculations and those of oil energy expert Jan Lundberg, the United States has just lost between 20% and 25% of its energy supply. My projection is that it’s not coming back — at least not most of it.

From The Wilderness article

I hate feeling like I'm crying wolf, but yikes.

I don't think that biodiesel is the pancea - of course we can't grow forests of corn, but kind of like how governments are right now treating wind energy, it reduces dependence on a single non-renewable source.
