With the arrival of Peak Oil, the curtain has closed on Act 1 of the drama Petroleum Man. What will happen in Act 2? Chekhov said, "If there's a gun on the wall at the beginning of the play, by the end it must go off." In the world's nuclear arsenal are many guns on the wall. If life copies art, will there be an Act 3 in which the players, having learned their lesson the hard way, live sustainably? To explore these and other questions... FTW's Act 2 Blog. Read, comment, take heart! Orkin

Japan on brink of consumer loans crisis
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/markets/japan/article1738383.ece
This is serious because consumer loans finance a lot of spending by consumers (duh!).
On the heels of the German report, more bad news for coal:

Americans say gas prices are "unreasonable"
http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewItem&itemID=15705
This really cracks me up. Two things come to mind. First, as far as gas price rises go, they haven't seen anything yet. And second, the word "unreasonable" is an indicator of the American sense of entitlement. They think they are entitled to cheap and plentiful energy, and if it gets expensive, that is "unreasonable."

I would assume many here have seen the documentary The Money Masters. If not, then do yourself a favor and watch it. All 3½ hour.
A huge and important article was just published at The Oil Drum, on the topic of Saudia Arabia's largest oil field Ghawar, and its depletion/peak likelihood. You have to be quite a techie to understand it, but even a skim and reading the comments gives a sense of its implication and importance:

I thought this might be of interest to some here:

Surprise, surprise
(1) Whitman refuses to testify about 9/11 response.
(2) Prince Harry will not serve in Iraq.
Who would have thought?
The rice crop is planted, and now an academic society is asking me to do a peak oil presentation. Yikes! I guess if it fits my schedule I'll give it a go.
My article has been a hit. It seems I chose the right approach by avoiding too much technicality (which would turn off most general readers) and outlining the implications of "no more cheap and plentiful energy."
many congratulations, rice farmer. you seem to know how to strike a balance so as not to overwhelm laypeople
