@vtprisonco Aw shucks. I didn't mean to upset you. Look, I know all about the stuff you mentioned and more. The bottom line is that the global economy is based on the idea of infinite growth and Earth is a finite physical ball. Unless we get into space mining and colonization, civilization is screwed. May be screwed in any case because of critical biospheric damage. If this doesn't make sense we'll have to agree to disagree.

This video reminds me of what I've been doing to prepare my family except I'm getting a Volt plug-in....

@Standuble agreed. The more resouces people get their hands on, the more fat and ignorant they become.

@reallynicerecordings Space mining? colonisation? 1. If we cant even manage to survive on Earth, with all the skills and resources we have, we are not going to do the impossible on a place that we cant even get to, or know even exists.

2. your idea is rather like building another house, because you have started a fire in the one you already have!

Sensible suggestions please.

@Blackwater200 Don't forget to tell them that very little oil will be able to maintain global agriculture so expect them to shed some major pounds accumulated from moving their fat asses everywhere by car.

[Blackwater200]

News flash for all you gas junkie idiots that still go out and buy gas cars, the government oil reserves that are in storage is not going to be used by us, it’s in reserve for government use only, to power their military. So when we run out of oil you will be screwed.

@reallynicerecordings we do not have the resources & international cooperation necessary to colonize or @ least access resources w/in our solar system before the next 50yrs. why flatter ourselves w/ experimental planetary colonization, when we haven't even done it completely on the face of the earth. i predict religious refugees colonizing the forgotten continent full time, as a diaspora escaping ther execution just as how our ancesters left certain death behing to settle the new world.

Russia has wisely invested in concentrated key critical survival heavy industrial sectors all of it's abiotic oil and gas revenues earned during the good years. Especially in Uralmash and in our nuclear power plant industry. We knew of rock dust powder remineralization and terra-preta charcoal powder agriculture and combined the two in our agricultural sector meant for local consumption and criminalizing GE/GMO plants and their genetically contaminated and altered seeds.

We Russians already had our BREST nuclear power plant reactors up and running, they can simultaneously create new nuclear fuel as they consume the initial start up nuclear fuel and consuming nuclear wastes at the same time. Importantly, we also have converted several BREST nuclear reactors into Breeder BREST nuclear reactors to produce more start up nuclear fuel to increase nuclear power output in terms of electricity, district steam heating, and synthetic fuel production.

Peak oil is here. It is getting interesting now.
