We need to start taking stock of our lives and start making other plans. Life as we have known it in America IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

POPSHow The Greens Captured Energy Policy Other aspects of the Green argument have also collapsed. New discoveries off Brazil and in the Gulf of Mexico have nearly doubled international oil reserves, pushing backwards from the "peak oil" date. And global warming, that notorious by-product of "oil addiction," has faded to the point that its advocates are now reduced to threatening dissenters with prison. It has gone almost completely unacknowledged that with oil shale, offshore deposits, and new resources such as the hydrocarbon sludge deposits off B.C. and Alaska, the OPEC of the late 21st century is going to be right here. That's a goal worth working toward. Breaking the power of the Greens is yet another possible benefit. Energy reform is an egg and rock situation for the Democrats. From the old Irish proverb: "When the rock hits the egg, alas for the egg. When the egg hits the rock, alas for the egg."

POPSAnother peak? As the cost of food skyrockets for many reasons, including shortages, the cost of inputs to industrial food production are coming under stress. A 30% rise in a year is serious, 100% in a week is a mania, or major panic. We have been waiting for the other shoe to drop in so many areas, when they all do, we could be killed by a shoe shower.

POPSPeak Oil? Don't ask the "experts" Falling big car sales, bus and train ridership up, airlines in trouble all over, $1,000 fuel surcharges. The pollies and the oil producers and the pundits may be fighting about PO, but it looks like the rest of us get it.

POPSOil Shortage a myth? "The bad news is that by underestimating proven oil reserves we have been lulled into a false sense of security in terms of environmental issues, because it suggests we will have to find alternatives to fossil fuels in a few decades," said Dr Pike. "We should not be surprised if oil dominates well into the twenty-second century. It highlights a major error in energy and environmental planning – we are dramatically underestimating the challenge facing us," he said. Jeremy Leggett, author of Half Gone, a book on peak oil, is not convinced that Dr Pike is right. "The flow rates from the existing projects are the key. Capacity coming on stream falls fast beyond 2011," Dr Leggett said. "On top of that, if the big old fields begin collapsing, the descent in supply will hit the world very hard."

POPSGordon Brown Urges Increase In Oil Production A source at Opec said its 13 members were uncomfortable with the current price of crude, which last week hit a record $135 a barrel. Based on present supply and demand, he said it should be fetching $60-$70 a barrel. Saudi Arabia said it would increase production.
