essential ones are that credit disappears and unemployment
rises. while demand and prices fall along with affordability, so
that as everything becomes less affordable, the essentials
become the least affordable of all.
She explains within the constraints of the natural world, and
given the data we now have about potential, even likely, future
scenarios that include less energy and an almost
non-existent global economy - to

Dollar is Linked to Energy
|

We are used to Cheap Energy which is the result of cheap oil
BUT now that we have reached Peak Oil and
oil is declining by 9% annually, we must expect our lifestyles to contract to
compensate.
We are now heading towards NET ENERGY
when we reach
nil net energy. That is the
point when the amount of energy produced is the same as the
amount invested to get it: there is
zero net energy left to do anything else.
Unless we find HIGH ENERGY
alternatives.................
