Won't matter how much oil we have if we run out of water, will it?

How does that translate into higher grocery prices?

The cost of energy.

Show me the numbers then. We are pumping more oil from U.S. soil than
ever before.

The world and the US is using a lot more oil too.

It is quite easy to say it was the Bush policies that increased US
energy production. You don't see the results of things like this for
years.

That is why all of those who subscribe to it won't affect oil prices for
10 years asshole should be shot. Many people understand that you have to
put forth energy to secure your needs in the future you will muddle
along in poverty forever.

If you don't build the house today, you can't live in it tomorrow. If
you don't drill for the oil today you won't have it tomorrow.

Oil is a finite resource, so no matter how much you drill, you still
won't secure your future with oil.

I have said for a long time, we will run out of water, long before we
run out of oil. We are seeing that in our food prices right now far
more than the cost of energy. There are things you can substitute for
oil but there is nothing else to replace "fresh" water.
You may be able to desalinate enough drinking water for most of the US
but you will never be able to get enough to irrigate our crops.


True.


Yes, and fossil fuel is STILL a finite resource.


There are lots of things that are finite resources on earth. Well, at
least until we get hit with a meteorite that deposits more gold or other
minerals.

Got enough gas to run the genny for several days?
I hope you guys in the northeast are taking this event seriously.


Got enough gas to keep us going for two to three weeks. Not continuous,
but enough for heat, hot water, and turn the freezers on a few times a
day. Looks like the weather aside from the storm is going to be better
than last time with daytime highs in the high fifties, and lows only in
the higher forties at night for at least the next ten days or so... Dry
and canned goods stored, three drums of water, and we tested the
generator today. I even have an emergency system I designed last storm
to pump up the furnace if something were to happen to the power to the
well. Simple enough. A 55 gallon drum with a hose connector to the
furnace, and a spare tire valve in the other bung hole. If I needed to I
can simply tip the drum on it's side and pump it up with a compressor or
even the bike pump we use at the track.

.... Yeah, we are taking it seriously...

Fresh water is a finite resource, Kevin.

Hope so, if needed. The gas cans are full, the motorcycle's full, and the Toyota's full.
