You need to ease up on the coffee I think. You get pretty worked up. I think I may have explained this before, but this is an email list not a PhD dissertation. I'm just telling you what I hear from people that do the research. And those people are saying 2 things: (1.) The world's energy *demand* will increase exponentially until it can't due to supply. (2.) The limiting factor will be liquid fuels. Here's what's going to happen within the next 3-5 years: a.) As the economy (fake) recovers the broken market for liquid fuels will yield demand far out-pacing supply. b.) In response liquid fuel prices will rise and never come back down. c.) This will trigger both inflation and recession as transportation and materials costs sky rocket. d.) There'll be 2 choices to switch over: natural gas engines and/or electric vehicles. In either case, it'll be a huge cost to our fuel stations, families, etc as they have to buy new vehicles. If it's electric that'll tax our already crumbling electric infrastructure which will mean we'll need to fix that as well as build coal or nuke plants. If it's nukes that'll take 10-15 years. e.) There'll be large migrations to cities as suburban living, with it's associated travel costs, becomes too expensive but then food will become a problem so there's an alternative de-centralization theory. No of course we could start planning for this now before the crisis, but we're too stupid to do that. Sam will claim we don't need to and you'll pull out your government statistics and so the public won't support it without the crisis. And the public is lulled by this past economic crisis. They don't realize that the only reason they're not destitute is because the fed can print money. The problem with an energy crisis is that the government can't print energy. But maybe we come up with some new energy supply before all of this happens. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
