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

Paulson May Propose Plan To Take Over Bad Debts
http://www.cnbc.com/id/26779080
This is just too much. The US government is flat broke. Of course all this bailing out and taking on of bad debts is done with borrowed money. What a joke. Just watch. The day is not far off when the US will tell all the creditors lined up outside its door to go home empty-handed. And I'm sure that is the plan. With the industrial/consumer economy now on the decline, no rational person would believe that those debts will ever be repaid.
BTW, it's heartening to be hearing from MCR frequently again.
Mideast to Cut Oil Investments If Prices Dip Below $80/Barrel
http://www.rigzone.com/news/article.asp?a_id=66815
But oil has to get much cheaper if it is to benefit the economy. There's a real tug-of-war here between the importers, who want to get oil down below $80, and exporters, who need to keep oil more expensive to support their own development and fund social programs.
The day is not far off when the US will tell all the creditors lined up outside its door to go home empty-handed. And I'm sure that is the plan.
And to "pay off" these unmanageable public debts, expect to see public lands, resources, and institutions sold off for pennies on the dollar. National forests, national monuments, public parks, the Smithsonian, all to be owned by Globalcorp.
Micheal... I'm sure you'll hear about this from your own sources, but...
