we are just at the plateau of oil,
natural gas and condensible liquids are another facet. You can also debate wether peak oil+ NG + condensibles are the saem as peak energy or can we shift our energy production to another method and surpass our current energy production. I think we can, from a technical stand point, but i am not sure it will happen from a social stand point. It would require to much long term planning that those in power refuse to do. Even joe shmoe needs to look ahead somewhat but good luck getting a soccer mom to notice this.

I heard an interview on NPR this morning and they were asking PA resident who they might vote for in the Dem primary. One woman complained that the Rep’s had not brought energy prices down and the DEMS could. She is in for a nasty surprise.

Nom’s idea on a “communal” farm/residential plot is ahead of its time

I’m not quite sure what set you off? Did I not conjugate a vowel?

Ket, I may call you Apocalypse boy, but by the same token I said EXACTLY the words above to a colleague not 20 minutes ago.

I laugh whenever the usual suspects talk about the “speculators”.

That is because Paramus is prestigious, it is in Bergen Co, and those who know, know that Bergen Co (all of it) is prestigious.

“global pirate attacks rose 10% in 2007″

10% growth,damm I am in the wrong business. It may be time to put my sailing skills to real use.

Here is how this whole thing is going down. We are entering the plateau portion of peak oil, this means that energy growth no longer keeps up with demand. as a result the first thing to get hit is food production because the majority of the worlds food is directly dependent on oil. As fuel prices rise we see people try to shift demand to bio-fuels ( bad idea, would you rather eat or drive?) This means that people are now competing with the energy market for food. As a result or increasing energy scarcity and decreased food exports, countries are /will curtail both food and energy exports. The two main players who have potential in this market are the energy exporters and the food exporters. if you do not have one of those 2 you are hosed. (google for export land model).
what does this mean? people/countries dependent on food aid will soon see massive starvation, fodd prices will contiue to increase and the airlines are dead men walking.. This is the tip of the ice berg.

This is not financial advice, just my personal musings, but you may be able to make a killing buy buying a stake in thai rice exports! look at asian rice demand and how many countries are banning exports. Thailand may be one of the stronger food economies in the region. remember i know nothing about investing!

Big deal. So does Wayne and Paramus.

Without question.

Sawx were the last team to integrate.

Pumpsie Green, I think.

Steve!

Where’v you been hiding??
