What will bring Shortwave broadcasting back from a post Cold War backwater
.... PEAK OIL

Russia (and the former USSR) have already peaked.
India and China are not oil exporters anymore -- they are importers.
Canada (1974) + Mexico (2004?) have peaked their oil production. Australia +
NZ: ditto.
Large oil provinces are no longer being discovered -- Gulf States sized that
is (excluding Gwhar, etc).
etc ...

The kinds of geopolitical empires that can be built with a ready supply of
cheap oil -- will no longer be viable.
Nations without oil will soon (over many decades) be equal as there will be
no oil.

Relay stations shut down for PEAK OIL reasons
-- Caribbean Relay Station, Antigua (BBC-DW, direct cause)
-- Tangier 3, VOA-BBG (direct)
-- Delano, CA US, VOA-BBG (indirect, funding)

In risk
-- Relay Stations on: GUAM, SIPAN, ...
