truth is always stranger than fiction -- got to thinking about abiotic oil -- what makes oil so nice? energy dense, relatively easy to extract and transport ... at what price of oil does geothermal begin to be competitive?? much of our economy has been based upon "cheap travel" and/or flow of goods ... what happens when that is no longer true?? What goods are really "essential" to be transported vs. mfr'd locally? We think of scale economies in a way that is specific to "cheap" transport right now ...
