Then again, it's not real big, so I think it's not there b/c it's profits probably aren't enough. Although why FIVE HUNDRED MILLION isn't ENOUGH is a bit mind boggling. Good grief.

]]> Comment on Energy Concerns: Today and Jimmy Carter by Tartie http://adropofrain.net/2008/04/energy-concerns-today-and-jimmy-carter/comment-page-1/#comment-15 Tartie Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:52:59 +0000 http://adropofrain.net/?p=44#comment-15 It's sad to see that what Carter said nearly 30 years ago would have probably gotten him assassinated if he spoke out like that now. That or maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic here. Bit of both, maybe. Scary scary stuff. Amazing that the average person can still believe wholeheartedly in what this gov't is saying. Astounds a thinking person. And kind of scares the crap out of her as well.

Maybe other countries will wake up and realise that our empty threats are just that, and the economy can further it's downward spiral a bit faster. That might be just a tad mean, though ;) Good enough for Iran, too, I’d say.

]]> Comment on Peak Oil Finally Hits the Mainstream Media by Tartie http://adropofrain.net/2008/04/peak-oil-hits-the-mainstream-media/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Tartie Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:28:29 +0000 http://adropofrain.net/?p=34#comment-4 "world’s most indispensable energy commodity" Hm, i find that to be a very misleading statement right at the onset of the article, mostly because the way that comes off, once oil is gone, we are gone. You're right when you say that they don't have a plan B yet, that points it out clear as day that even though they see a problem, no one yet in a position of authority, whether it be the media or the government is ready or willing to look for a new source of energy, or to develop those alternate sources that have been found to be effective. I have been enjoying reading these blog entries though. That, and "Box of Rain" is now probably a permanent addition to my mp3 player, thanks :D “world’s most indispensable energy commodity”

Mostly as recycling was becoming more widespread ? Proof right there that all those one little pieces added up. This ties in so well with the oil prices article re. conservation. That might be a subtopic these could be linked together. Just an idea. Otherwise, good so far. I haven't made it through the whole video yet, IW is being assy, probably flash too, but will try in the morning. Incredible shots though.
