What's going to happen . . .

[JUGGERNAUT]

I've been preaching the gospel of energy conservation for well over 15 yrs now but no one listens. I believe it was 1988 when the report first appeared. By 2010 the world's demand for oil would exceed it's supply & the supply would continue to shrink each yr thereafter as demand grows.

But no one listened. Including friends of mine who claim they are environmentalists yet have $200/mo electric bills & at least one gas guzzling SUV.

 

I've been preaching the gospel of America-first since the late 80's but no one listened then either. Now I read a report that Disney has hired an independant auditor to review their shops in China. In that same report I learned that minimum wage there is equivalent to about 33 cents/hr or roughly 1/17th that of America. Yet no one seems to listen to that either.

 

America is in for a rude-awakening with high inflation & high unemployment about to cave in our little fantasyworld before the end of the next decade.

 

Maybe then they'll listen.

Now there's a post I can agree with, Juggs. /faints

 

Seriously, it's coming, and rapidly, now.

What this country needs is an oilman for President

This is exactly the reason we are in Iraq. The English speaking peoples of the world have a history of establishing a presence in strategic areas of the world. This an attempt to get a foothold in the middle east before the opportunity to do so is non-existant.

 

There is going to be a shortage of oil in the very near future and the U.S. is trying to position itself to be in as much control over as much of the remaining oil as possible.
