During the second world war, almost everything one bought, including gasoline, was rationed. As a kid, I did not get the sense that anyone really complained about it. We were at war and sacrifices had to be made.
Well, Richard Heinberg argues that the days of cheap oil are gone forever and, if we don't ration its use while we find alternative sources, we'd better be ready for doomsday. Of course, rationing must be on a world-wide level or it will not succeed. How this idea will ever come to pass in this world is beyond me.
