Personally I'd prefer Resource depletion cos it's not just the last dregs of 
fuels that are being scrabbled over but also loads of minerals & 
particularly metal ores (shameless plug for my workshop on this at climate 
camp ;-) - some of which are thought to only have 13 yrs workable reserves 
left. Or maybe both ener crisis & res depl topics need creating?
