Like it is running on six cylinders today, and in a few years five, and a few more years four. The lack of easy energy will just do one of those self-induced asphyxiation things on our civilization.

Like a large robot found dead with a belt wrapped around his neck and some kind of Rube Goldberg alternative energy schematic spread in front of him for his arousal.

I wonder if this will be like the fall of the Maya. One weak nation will be taken over by another until it we reach a breaking point among all nations, followed by a power-vacuum. I wonder what Monte Quest thinks about this.

Vision Master-- Cherokee nation will return...because they HAVE to. You see the resurgence on the fringes; not the buckskin type, but the cultural ones.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Iaato', 'I') will follow my advice, and head out tomorrow for a cabin to cabin ski tour. Spring is fantastic up here, with crust skiing and great snow and warm temperatures.
