2010, is the year he spoke of....It may be related to the lack of oil causing a crash and people to go crazy and world wide panic.
If there was no oil in the USA, in less than 3 months, there would be shortages of food, transportation, water, it would set us back to the 1912's in living. No AC, No heat, no hot water, all of this is possible, with out oil.
Because the USA has never taken this as a warning, to do something about it, to prevent this from happening.
