This is the premise of TR Reid's new book The United States of Europe: The 
New Superpower and the End of American Supremacy.  I posted this NPR "Fresh Air" 
link several weeks ago but will do so again -- in view of the interesting 
dialog that has developed here over Kunstler, Peak Oil, Suburbia, etc. -- for 
those who might have missed it in the first place:
