Since I've been away; I need new eye-glasses. Been to a Sushi restaurant 3 times with my daughter. My trusted old PC died. Noticed a neighbour stumbling around, drove her to the hospital (an overdose)
Have borrowed every DVD that the library has. Sold my bicycle. Attempted to do an inventory of my life, the warehouse is empty. Actually believed that I would quit CS forever, (a futile endeavour)
Been cooking and eating more, gained 4 lbs. Executed a news black-out, I have no idea what's happening in this world right now.
My previous threads on the oil crisis is real. Our governments don't have the guts to tell us the truth. In ancient Greek times , the bearer of bad news was executed. Every politician on earth will and is lying to you. Do you really think that this energy crisis is just some game ? WE ARE OUT OF OIL.
For your own sake, do some research on it. Take your head out of the sand. Again, wake the f* up. Or are you too much involved in your TV show , watering the lawn, saving for your retirement which will never happen ?
Good point, but very soon we will not be able to pay taxes. Look at the closures of plants which depend on oil to produce products which we can no longer afford.
I am not yelling that the "Sky is falling". I have done my homework on this subject. This is the beginning of the end, witnessed by you each time you fill up, or pay your gas bill. Food as you are witnessing will double in cost within 2 years.
When oil became the life-blood of the Western world at the turn of the last century, it was thought that it would last forever. To date we have used up way more than half of what remains. The rest can't be recovered because of the energy it needs to recover it. Example; The Canadian Oil Sands, within the near future, it will take a barrel of oil to recover a barrel of oil. Meanwhile the corporations and governments are cashing in their last chips for the greatest profits, and they are doing it NOW. They know the facts. The average corporate head or senior politician is 50 years old, and they only care about their BMW, mansion, golf club membership and winters in the Barbados.
I will repeat from my other thread; The world economy and survival is all based on oil. We are running out of it and faster than you think. China and India has entered the car buying arena. North America imports about 70% of its required oil, China must import all of its oil....do the math. Alternatives ? There are none. Hydrogen powered vehicles take oil in order to produce them, as well as any other form of energy producers.
We hit the peak of all remaining oil reserves on this planet in the 70's, we've been sliding down the slope to depletion since.
If you have any doubts about this, just hang on another year, you will see gas hit $6.00 a gallon in N. America, and everything that follows, from food to tooth-picks, because almost everything that is manufactured is done so based on fossil-fuel.
Ever hear of Hubbard's peak?
It is the point at which oil production begins to go down forever. It is the reason behind rising gas prices. The halfway point in supply is called “peak oil,” or also, “Hubbard's Peak.” Dr. Hubbard's predictions were accurate for American reserves, correctly predicting the U.S. had pumped half its reserves by 1970. He made these predictions in the 50's and was laughed out of the profession.
The so called "reserves", are inflated in order to manipulate the oil producers quotas. It's over.
