The one thing I am fairly confident about is that the demand for energy is not going to decline and that oil and natural; gas prices will remain high and perhaps go higher. I think that could also be true of a lot of other commodities. I can imagine increasing demand for coffee, cocoa, and orange juice, as people in Asian countries develop or indulge a taste for these. Copper is a wonderfully useful metal--much better than aluminum for most electrical wiring. Things that Americans consider necessities are heretofore unacquired luxuries in much of the world. The United States is not the only market. I think that a decline of the U. S. dollar against other currencies will efefctively cut the American standard of living (which is wasteful anyway).
