Hi ftth - "Several other claims in that article seem at the very least to be disputable and/or have other explanations such as the major dip in car buying from the recession peak, which hasn't fully recovered back to average yet."

True.

The purpose of the link was to demonstrate consumer buying patterns, nothing else. Energy consumption and whether there was significant "change" was the point, not politics. Some appear to have seized on the reference to Obama, while disregarding the main issue: Jorj's assertion of change. A search will reveal many references to the same fact, less the politics.

It's worthwhile to challenge the comfort of mainstream thinking and underlying attitudes. People don't like it; they perceive it as a threat when the real threat lies elsewhere. Thus ends the latest episode of Shoot the Messenger.

The answer as to who is meeting the energy standard of preparedness and mitigating sufficiently will come in less than a decade. It will be told in GDP, disposable incomes, economic efficiency and voter satisfaction. No one will escape, but some nations will fare better than others for one reason only: they planned for the future, and they acted.

We now return to our regular broadcast of uncomplicated faith ;)
