Yes, all is good, just build a new zero emmission, super insulated house, for 320 million folks.

No problem. I'll get right on that after lunch.

Not meaning to be (too) sarcastic. It's just that most folks seem to zero in on some fact and forget to draw back and look at the overall picture.

WE (my Wife and I) can build that fancy bungalow on our 168 acre house lot.

Well ..t.he question is somewhat silly because if you get to the point that you're running out of wood...who the *$$% is restocking the grocery store? IS the internet still working? Cellphone service? Can you imagine the situation that leads to wood running out?????! i can only guess its bad...really bad. ...so even if you have a big fancy solar powered setup...you are a sitting duck for the other 100,000 poor souls that are freezing, hungry, well armed.

[frankthetank]

Even today, before the wood runs out, it makes sense to insulate and do everything you can to reduce energy consumption in your home. Options such as adding exterior foams (say polyiso) or even rockwool. Adding as much insulation (if possible) to your attic (R100) ....adding interior wall insulation (add another stud wall...double stud). The biggest issue is watching when/where/if condensation is going to form (rot/mold). On the heating side of things you could add wood and stockpile (if you have the room). You could add a mini split heat pump (they work even in cold climates). Solar panels are cheap now. Lots of things people can do to prepare themselves should things really fall apart...

...even here in Wi...winter is usually a Dec-March thing...so its not like Hudson Bay.

Frank,

Did you look at those pictures of NY City housing?

Yes, it may work for YOU. It will NOT work for the over 50% that life in cities.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('copious.abundance', 'A') doomer porn video is not proof of a future event. I could show you videos explaining how technological nirvana is going to arrive in 5 years, which would counter your claim, but just like your video, it would just be a prediction. Neither of us could be proven right until we wait the 5 years. If you are certain the world economy is going to collapse in 5 years, you should have no problem betting a large sum of money on that prediction.

So, put your money where your mouth is.
