The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Typo police alert. The description of the thread re Rick Smalley states:
"Richard Smalley
Description: Lectures and other material by and with Nobel Price Winner Richard Smalley. The filmed lecture "Our energy Challenge" is highly recomended."
Shouldn't that read "prize" instead of "price?'

Rick Smalley said in the movie Nobelity that in order to meet the projected energy demand in 2050, a one-gigawatt powerplant needs to be built every day for the next 27 years.
He also said (paraphrasing) that if people expect fossil fuels to be the answer to our energy problems, they are going to be very disappointed.

Edited to correct typo of Smalley in my first reply.
D'OH!
:oops:

There’s a strange irony related to this subject [oil and gas extraction] that the better you do the job at exploiting this oil and gas, the sooner it is gone.

No thanks. I have too many projects around here that keeps me fairly busy, which is also the reason I don't post too much.

But should we readers send you a PM instead of making a post? Or a PM to one of the mods? I was just trying to help make the site better by pointing out a typo, and yes, I did miss the one peaker_2005 noticed.

Excellent links btw.
