3 refinery closings in PA by 7.2012 cuts 50+% of US east coast refin capacity + a 495k in St Croix closing, major supplier to EC. Rationing? Siphoning to build up US/Nato transport fuels for war? Only agrarianism is sustainable. Industrial base to be decimated by very high oil prices. Plastics & synthetic fabrics from oil make up bulk of world commerce & too high oil prices, most commerce unaffordable. No build out of infrastructure prior to World War 3 for oil. UK Telegraph blackjack.

@LightReuse I've come to that same conclusion. Industrial civ simply isn't sustainable. We're able to run it now because we're tapping into millions of years of accumulated sunlight. 3 tablespoons of crude oil contains more energy (watts/calories) than an adult male can produce in an entire days worth of work. Things are really heating up with Iran. Cutting off oil to the EU? Uh uh. No way are TPTB going to allow that to happen. It spells war.

I see that "Newt promises Moon colonies". Great. It reminds me of that quote about the aliens in "Independence Day".... "They're like locusts. They're moving from planet to planet.... After they've consumed every natural resource they move on." Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

@vegemikey Chuckle. Yes, and so-called "Christians" like Newt (who calls for life in prison for anyone caught with over 3 oz of hemp) need to learn how to read their own Bible. In Genesis it says God gave man dominion over the Earth. It doesn't say anything about the moon, Mars, or any other heavenly body...Locusts indeed.

This is another reason that we're best analogized to ant colonies rather than a virus: watch?v=prjhQcqiGQc

We'll die in a similar way; making the same mistake over and over in a death spiral. Natural selection is too crude to grant us the means necessary to evolve beyond the failings in our intelligence.

[DoNotCiv]

@IdaMiaDot Interesting. The death spiral works as a literal analogy when we can do nothing more than follow the pheromonal trail. Nature's a bitch, in more ways than one.

What will happen when we run out of oil is all city buses will be converted to run on bio-diesel since they're diesel engines. so people will just have to swallow their pride and take the bus to work. or wherever and as for the 18 wheelers that deliver all our food/supplies to the stores. they're diesel engines too and remember bio-fuel is made from wasted veg oil restaurants throw out something like 500 million gallons a year I think that's enough to power some city buses..!

@vegemikey Just wait to we find a way to get to the other earth like planet 20 light years away. we will destroy that place in no time I'm kinda hoping we never go there. because I believe there's life on that planet similar to us humans. altho I think they're not as advanced technology wise...!

[220Killer]

I feel comforted just knowing Im not alone with my thoughts, I acted to adapt the second I learned of this....people close to me think Im crazy
