Great read, thank you. Me thinks Europe in general is in fairly good shape, due to an outstanding transportation system run on electric rail. And yes, Germany, always a leader in new generation manufacuturing and thinking. Swiss as well, with just an awesome and changing manufacturing base. The French have the best knowledge in the world on building nuclear based power as well. Also, Europe still has it major cities and small towns based around the old world, 'pre oil' model somewhat, in that all you need it located within your neighborhood, they continue to build in such a manner. Along with small houses, fuel savings thinking etc. No doubt Europe will come out a leader in the future. The second place on the globe has to be Russia/Siberia - been watching the Russian trade ETFs and they have stayed very high. One needs to stay on and invest in these at some point ahead. Probaly the last major holding of energy based assets in the ground. Third, I must think Brazil, new offshore discovery and vast potential to create green based energy. Large land reserves in a high sun area lead to agriculture based fuel production. Of course, by this article one must stay and figure out whom will be the winners in solar, wind, ocean (wave) technology and be sure to own those at a great price. But what a bumpy ride and not all will succeed. For now solar and wind, in its current form, cannot replace what oil has done for us. The article does not even talk about the global elite plan at population reduction, little doubt that is also in the model. Cause a non oil based economy cannot support what exists on the globe in the next century. That is what is the most scary, as the fighting and wars that are going to break out to retain leadership...... America had better get moving, I see very little in the model to address the problem other than just more wars and land grabs! Time we get leadership away from big oil lobbies! Can it happen, I do not know the answer to that. This stood out in the article, "This perspective also provides some extra context for why locally-based power generation, like on-site or community wind and solar, are political non-starters for energy execs and their government minions. It's obvious that they hate it because they can't take profit from it; but they also know that America's global hegemony depends on keeping the world dependent on energy supplies they control. Since nobody can capture a monopoly on the wind or the sun, there's no way to build the next global empire on them. And therefore, renewables simply aren't very interesting to people whose first priority is geopolitical dominance and stratospheric profit." It was JP Morgan that told Tesla, and destroyed him, when he relized his energy invention could not be metered.........tell you, we would already have 100% renewable energy on a global scale if not for this control model that the article speaks of! Great find again, and thank you, will reread this many times. My thinking has already been along these lines, have already built an investment list around this thesis. Is it right, yes, a very well written piece of thought for sure. Great weekend. West
