The net energy graphs could be correct, but the impact will probably
not be evenly spread throughout the world. Just as food and energy
consumption is not evenly spread at present.

The countries who at present consume the most energy and food will do
their best to maintain their consumption to avoid affecting their
standard of living.

So Rafal, in the town where he lives, might indeed not notice any
shortage of food or energy, while millions are dying in poorer
countries. He would be quite correct to say that he didn't notice any
shortages.

The big players in energy will only take notice when restrictions
affect their own standard of living.
Nothing personal, just business as usual.
