We will be interested to hear what is happening in Germany regarding your oil situation.

I've been reading the many posts on HHO gas. I have built a generator (Smack's Booster) and I am waiting for my chemicals to arrive to fire it up and break it in. The car is all prepared as to wiring and stuff. Since I carefully monitor gas mileage I will know immediately (in one tankful) if the thing is a scam or something that actually works. UPS- bring me my KOH!

bonjour monsieur Cedrik. The French are very much allowed, indeed welcomed to this forum as you guys seem to be in short supply here.

Welcome.

Welcome to PeakOil.com, Drik. If you have questions about the site, please check the "How to get around this site without losing your mind" thread, also in this Welcome forum, or ask any Moderator.
We do have an "Europe Discussion" forum that you might find interesting.
We look forward to hearing what's going on in France.

[HeckuvaJob]

Welcome Cedric! I'm very interested to hear what is going on in France. After watching Sicko, I'm sure the US could learn a thing or two from our European friends.

Plus I searched for "Freedom Fries" here and didn't get any hits.

Hi All. I was glad to find this website and anticipate learning a lot from the folks here. Like many of you who began waking up to PO during the past months or years, my awareness has come recently, over the summer.

I am a Chicago Public School teacher living on the north side of the city, about a mile from the lakefront and about 3mi. N of Wrigley Field, home of the Cubbies (This is the big year...I can feel it!). I have been reading a lot this summer, including Kunstler's "The Long Emergency" and "World Made By Hand", and presently, Bill McKibben's wonderful "Deep Economy".

At this point, my wife really doesn't want to hear much about this. Understandably, I guess. Its really scary and depressing. Unless or until I get to the point when I want to make serious changes -- fallout shelter in the basement, relocation to the country -- she'd rather let me do the studying up.

As with the Y2K scare, one personal benefit, I believe, has been the realization of how few basic skills I possess. In '98, I realized that (as a, then, graphic designer) I could do NOTHING for myself. So I began learning how to do organic growing. Presently, we keep a few hens (yes, despite being outlawed in nearly every suburb, they are perfectly legal in the city of Chicago) in our little backyard garden. I teach fifth grade and am involved with helping kids learn about ecology and hands-on gardening. If the S, in fact, HTF, the gardening skills I teach my students may be more helpful than anything else they learn from me.

At this point, I am just trying to: 1) learn all I can, 2) work on as many traditional skills as possible (gardening, canning, carpentry, etc.), and 3) contemplate and plan for longer term. I have three children -- 10, 7, and 5. I am also a leader in my church and will be leading a class this fall on Green Living. The Church at large has been ecologically clueless for a long time, so this first round is really an intro. Though PO is not the emphasis quite yet, it will certainly be included to help people begin to see what's going on. Then we'll see about the winter classes.

Nice to be here.

Warm Regards,

Steven Slaughter
Chicago

Welcome Steven, I have two small children and so I don't worry too much about whether peak was 2005 or is 2012. Either way its soon enough that it will be bound to cause major problems for their future. I fall in the doomer camp I suppose and as such I live in a rural mountain area in NM where I pursue all manner of self sufficency projects.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome Steven. With those traditional skills you've been working on, I look forward to seeing your contributions in the Planning for the Future forum!

Oh, you can afford to take a 13 day trip at today's prices?

God HAS blessed you!

Welcome MtHkr. How many loaves of bread would 60# of zucchini yield???

kpeavey - being an INTP myself I was shocked when I read your comment. I had no idea about the relationship b/w personality type and Peak Oil. When I searched for INTP I got 8 pages back... yet ANOTHER section to tackle.

This is probably the most informed, courteous, helpful forum I've ever encountered. Now if I could just get my signature to work!

[Aimrehtopyh]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('gnm', 'T')hats a sobering thought. you could starve to death while eating all the zucchini you could stand... I wonder if you would feel hungry with a full belly - or just light headed from the lack of calories. Maybe like those mud cakes they are eating in Haiti.

This is where they told em to go whats up everyone, lets get crackin on creatiing solutions creating new Fuel

[MadScientist]

Welcome!

yes I agree. Its time to get crackin

Some of us have been crackin for a long time. I'd like to say we have some promising new fuels comin to save us soon. What we HAVE found, is that they all fall dramatically short on meeting our current needs, let alone expanding. We have discussed them ALL in depth and at length lol. Search the site for any solutions you believe in and educate yourself .

Sadly, it looks like conservation and price spikes are the way of the future. And that the world we have known will "shrink" considerably...soon.

Most real solutions will be found in your local community. What you and your family and your town do to meet the challenges of the future.

[sittinguy]

Welcome to the truth. You should now commence some crackin, and get your preps a crackin

[Roccland]

Howdy - please join us around the campfire
