Spell said gas was going to $15, I said no way, we'd break well before. Your "peak oil" has pushed, and not just the Americans, to take actionS.
A little slow, but to think Americans can't find a way out of this mess and we are doomed, is the way of fools who sit on their hands, cry, and blame others and do ZIP.
We have plenty of oil in the US, and 1000s of ways to up our miles per gal !!!AND!!! Oil isn't the only way to power our cars. If anything, America's "demand" has peaked. Now we act before India and China's demand pulls us under.
"Climate chaos" stopped me from wanting to read the book you posted. Can you just make your point? What chaos? Like the 500 year floods we see on TV this week? What was the last big flood from? Why are we not still in an ice age?
Your doomZZZZday financial collapse, as big as it is, is a small percentage of all loans that the banks and new home buyers made that were bad. Too many good loans to ever see banks vanish. If a bank goes belly up another will be glad to fill in. The effects are magnified by fears from, out of proportion reporting by the media and people like you.
I'm not saying we don't have a problem, or that it isn't a big problem, I just don't think it's the day of reckoning.
How Do We Go from Empire to Earth Community? You see the US as an this "Evil Empire", not the great country that it is... and you want an Earth Community, then turn around and cry we don't want US jobs to go overseas, cry about free trade, and back a Presidential candidate that want's to trash NAFTA. We are much more of a world market than you think. Like China and India's climbing oil demand hitting us at the pump. The use of corn for fuel effects the price of corn around the world....etc, etc. We need to come to grips with it.
You and Spell, please speak your mind, your cut and paste of other's opinions> the world is going to end and we have no way out, are a bore. Look for solutions, not who to blame.
Have a good week, if we have a week;)
