Crash Course: Chapter 17c - Energy and the Economy by Chris Martenson

Chapter 17c - Energy and the Economy: What if our exponentially-based economic and monetary systems are really just an artifact of oil? What if all of our rich societal complexity and all of our trillions of dollars of wealth and debt simply are the human expression of surplus energy pumped from the ground? In this chapter, Dr. Chris Martenson predicts what will happen when economic, population, and energy growth reach their natural limits.

Chris, don't thrust in God. Thrust logical reasoning.

I am not sure that energy use equates to the economy that strictly. An example is Denmark. Denmark has an average standard of living higher then the US, but they consume less energy per person. One of the reasons is that a large percentage of travel is via bicycle, or walking, which are less energy intensive and more efficient modes of travel then car driving. One of the solutions is to waste less energy thereby creating more surplus energy.

@KrunchyJD Don't forget, US has bigger distances to travel. Also the economy is structured differently. It's just not that simple.

@sjuurd Trust, not 'thrust'. But I agree with the content of the message.

 The Lord shall hold them in derision. 5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure

thepfcboxs. Why do the nations rage,

 And the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together,

.our leaders are very much weak

A-1 Within present model, 2nd order non-linear f(x) = y^2 is impossible. Energy + mass = Life Obviously intelligence is energy. Where there is a will there is a way Energy production is important. Energy consumption is more important.
