peak oil is not here

Excellent Q & A. Other costs too: destroy family farm way of life/pattern of history alternative to power complex/civilization worldwide (Mumford Trans.ofMan). & Make Cargill/ADM/Tyson/Smithfield pay full cost to farmers for feed. Export at above costs. Stop farm export dump/destroy rural econ./culture/eco world wide. Way of life: private sector, care for each other. UN: illegal to destroy culture (US didn’t sign!) Cheap grain bumps grassfed/livestock rotations. CED remove “excess” farmers.

Please keep these videos coming for those of us who cannot attend these talks in person! Stuck up here in Spokane, where everyone is focused on their large lawns; constantly mowing, spraying, and watering, even though there's water shortage, Big Spokane River is so polluted cannot eat fish you catch there, etc.

I wonder how many dinosaurs died down there in that Gulf of Mexico? 100,000 barrels of oil a day, how many dead animals does that represent per day? Talk about over population.

That's a point that is so hard to get many people to embrace, rather than deny.
