What happens when oil does peak?
by: Bill on the Hill
<What will all this mean for you and me- the average folk?>
Short answer.... Hunger, thirst, fear. Followed by sickness, violence and rage.
<Which industries will suffer the most- and which will strengthen as the new situation takes hold?>
Shovel makers, biofuel producers, orchard growers, water lawyers, herbalists, horse breeders, cobblers........
<If and when oil prices start to rise substantially, it will undoubtedly translate into strong commodity based inflation.>
Organic farmers with good land and good water will thrive.......
<“The world's economy has been driven by an abundant supply of cheap oil-based energy for the best part of this century. The coming oil crisis will accordingly be an economic and political discontinuity of historic proportions, as the world adjusts to a new energy environment.">
<According to financial analyst Norman Church, as a result, the contemporary food system may be inherently unsustainable.>
<"Oil is required for a lot more than just food, medicine, and transportation, " he says. "It is also required for nearly every consumer item, water supply pumping, sewage disposal, garbage disposal, street/park maintenance, hospitals and health systems, police, fire services and national defence.>

Your post requires much more than just reading. It requires absorption..... If we do not absorb the meaning of our near term future NOW we stand to loose everything we have worked so many years for.
And the mad man stands on the hill shouting but no one hears.
We have ears.......
I am listening. And planning. And in a very big hurry to get the job done.
Damn this world..... I am always in a hurry.....
