Peak Oil and Related Global Issues

[gristy]

An interesting, though long, speech from Michael Rupert to the Commonwealth Club in 2004.

On p. 46 he states "BRITAIN’S LARGEST ELECTRICITY PROVIDER HAS ANNOUNCED THAT PRICES WILL SOAR AS MUCH AS 40% NEXT YEAR." So I went looking to see if this turned out to be true or not. Haven't found info one way or the other yet, but I did see this, which illustrates one example of what Rupert is talking about:

4. Think of oil as a carcinogen...

It causes cancer.

And it's about to give us a terminal case.

If there's anything you wanna do while still alive, better do it now.

And be content with the coming disaster. You cannot do anything about it.

So pretend it IS cancer. A big-arse lump growing in your lung, brain, or other treasured body part. It is incurable. Your doctor told you that you have 6 months to live.

LIVE life in those 6 months. ENJOY every day. Do NOT get riled up or angry; it is not worth it.

For in 6 months you won't be feeling anything anymore. So why waste it feeling down?

Dance. Live. Love. Eat bacon. Just have fun. THAT is the core essential of living.
