Bad News From Canada

Unread postby PenultimateManStanding » Wed 11 Jan 2006, 12:19:04

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Some Canadian', 'W')e now have only 8.7 years of proven supply of natural gas. Conventional
oil production is falling
How would this city fare, bankrupt and waterless with no food deliveries arriving on wheels? 2 and a half million stranded people. No Federal Government to help. On our own. Some areas may support small numbers but how could it develop with chaos and starvation and panic all around?

There are areas where people can take out the fences that seperate their properties. Say you have some houses with just a couple of people living there, and these houses have enough contiguous land that if they had plenty of seeds and water entrapment and armed defenders they could provide for themselves. There are also plenty of people living in areas of too great density for whom this option will not work. The options then become a)emmigrate b)starve c)fight d)hire out as labor e)hustle/trade f)adapt.

Isn't Canada and the US in the progress of implimenting liquified natural gas terminals on the West coast?

It's a little strange to see Canada in the near future (10 years) as a natural gas importer rather than an exporter. :lol:
