Basically most of what Ruppert says is underway even if his predictions are not 100% correct all the time. There is nothing mad about Michael C Ruppert or permaculture.

If you wish to believe the infinite growth paradigm can continue forever or wish to put your faith in industrial, franken- food, well good luck to you. Let's just hope you don't have a sudden realisation as you are swept away by a flood or tsunami!

@TheProphetNabob I don't know who the hell you are but I bet you've also been wrong about things, we all have. Ruppert is only human, not a prophet (neither are you). Doesn't change the fact that a lot of what he is saying is happening, and he's not the only one. It doesn't take a genius to realize infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible. But obviously we have to do our own research, analyze the data and make up our own minds. That being said I don't agree 100% with him either.

seems the truth is North America is full of Crude and the Baaken has light sweet crude too...Its off shore its in South America ,,,hell Oil is all over the world.. and you clowns want to use food to make gas ....go figure that one

[mike184ever1]

@charcol67 there is no GOVERNMENT HAND OUT for cattail production...oh, wait, thats a wetlands byproduct... nope you are a tree hugger and you cant have people raping the wetlands now can ya....see it just dont make any sense (cents)

@charcol67 Ethanol burns slow and cold so it takes way more to get the burn...oh you want to use food to make gas ...there is something morally wrong about that one, doncha think???

@77blitzwing whats over...Wall St. still making money on the dollar. EU gets sicker and US Dollars keeps its crisp....now there is a conspiracy..someone better look into that one

@redhat123456789 FYI, I keep bringing up polycultures because you keep bringing up pesticides. Also, ethanol burns virtually pollution-free, just the opposite of burning petroleum- another answer to your ethanol/ greenhouse gas question.

[charcol67]

@redhat123456789 Plant= facility. Corn is only one crop out of many, including cattails (google cattails), that can be used for alcohol production. A monoculture requires pesticides- a polyculture does not. Harvesting (recycling) co2 (a greenhouse gas) from the fermentation tank of a distillery can be pumped into a greenhouse (an indoor food production facility) to increase plant growth and thus food production (if growing food). This should answer your question re: ethanol and greenhouse gases.

[charcol67]

@redhat123456789 An ethanol plant can easily be powered using a biogas digester, using either surplus liquid solubles from the distillation process or animal manure as the substrate- no oil needed. Agreed, but we wouldn't have to use it if growing a polyculture. Depends- grow a crop (cattails) which doesn't need USDA farm land or USDA crop land. Water- being efficient is key (research permaculture). G.Gases- harvest co2 from fermentation and pump into greenhouse for increased food production.

@redhat123456789 So reducing our petroleum use by 50% w/o modifying our vehicles is sad??? The modification is small and would eliminate our need for petroleum-based fuel entirely. Correct- no damage, but I asked what damage you were referring to and you're evading the question. Huge negatives? Small positives? Corn is only a monoculture when grown alone- this is what a monoculture is. Yes, this is the current method of growing it, but it doesn't have to be this way. Alcohol= liquid solar energy
