Clearly the world needs a centralized 'one world government' in which the politicians can make the tough decisions without worrying about elections. Yes?
I love Richard and his message to the species. I want to take amoment to plug that mysterious and largely suppressed energy source: ground-source heating, i.e., geothermal.....it works. I have it in my house. I love it. You're 80% off the grid and only need the AC to run the exchange unit. This is great tech and should be used in new construction in cold climates. that's all I wanted to say.
@LiquidRio The real test of biofuels is the EROEI ratios. So far, there's no indication that we'll even come close to matching oil with plant-based sources.
Most likely we'll end up with far less energy available than we have from fossil fuels - which is why we'll have to 'power down' as Richard says.

@LiquidRio : it takes more than 1 gallon of fossil fuel to produce 1 gallon of biofuel.
