PeakTrader:
The oil shock of the 2000s was greater than the oil shock in the 1970s, it was a demand shock, rather than a supply shock, because of peak oil, and high oil prices have been sustainable, even in this deep depression. Chart:

******
The free market has done a much more effective and cheaper job than government, and without government help, reducing the U.S. and global oil shock of the 2000s and 2010s.
******
Of course, government created a depression, trillion dollar budget deficits, and expensive solar energy to deal with the oil shock.
