Peak Oil and Politics

Please note: the crew rearranged my home office to make it look like a survivalist's bunker. That's not what it normally looks like around here. The crew filmed me about 2 weeks after Hurricane Katrina at which time I had just recieved a cache of supplies and had them sitting in my kitchen. They took those supplies and moved them over to where I keep my books and papers, things you would normally expect from somebody in my line of work. The fact that I was wearing a green sweater when they came here only helped convey an atmosphere of "bunker-chic." -Matt http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net

You're right. Machines do those jobs.

In the future, we'll find work using shovels, hoes and rakes, if we're lucky.

Who is this person? Does he even read the comments page?

New technologies produce jobs that don't even exist today.

What's your motive-- to get a job teaching third grade?

Matt:

What will your next career move be, after Peak Oil comes and goes, and we successfully switch to new technologies, down-size, die-off, etc.? I mean, you went to law school, and, correct me if I am wrong, but you have never practiced law.

Oh dear, zeratul. You must do some research.

There are no pools of hydrogen under the earth. There is zero hydrogen infrastructure in place. The energy returns for energy invested in such hydrogen technologies is NEGATIVE.

Peak oil is serious beyond all comprehension. The government is not going to save you, either.
