I would g...Gerald Celente is worth listening to. <br /><br />I would generalize what you said about economic growth being inversely proportional to the price of oil to say inversely proportional to the price of energy. If we had another source of energy that was comparable to oil in performance and price, there'd be no problem. <br /><br />If the greens would get their collective heads out of their butts and allow us to develop widespread nuclear power, we'd be in much better shape. In the meantime, I understand we have enough natural gas here in the US to run the planet until 2100 at high growth rates. But they won't allow us to do that, either. The same folks who pushed through your wind turbines that actually deplete energy. <br /><br />What's with it with these people? They keep chasing the most impractical, lowest energy-density, worst possible sources of energy and refuse the sources that have a good chance of working.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-15672034290174736312010-12-28T14:56:50.992-05:002010-12-28T14:56:50.992-05:00Gerald Celente reckons that the US is going to bec...Gerald Celente reckons that the US is going to become the world's first "UN-developed" nation ... in the next year or two. Merry Christmas!<br /><br />No, there's not a chance of fiscal recovery for you or Europe. Hard on the heels of the debt crises is the looming impact of peak oil; as far as I'm aware, economic growth is inversely proportional to the price of oil.<br /><br />BTW, you might like to know that, over the Christmas period, our myriad wind turbines (UK) have produced as much as 1.6% of our electrical energy ... and as little as O%. Sometimes, they actually consume energy as they require internal heating in cold, still, weather. They also are driven, in still weather, to prevent damage to the bearings. Or something.<br /><br />It's all most depressing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
