Clusterfuck Nation by James Howard Kunstler
The serious public conversation of our energy predicament has not begun, and when it does it will be too late. In the background of all this, an economy based on suburban sprawl and easy motoring is going to absolutely fall on its ass, and that means a much quicker end to the housing bubble than we might have expected a month ago. It might also lead to both the demise of the airline industry and the nationalization of what remains of it. It will certainly quash any remaining faith that such an economy can produce wealth, which is what the financial markets are based on, so look out below on Wall Street.
According to Kunstler Katrina and Rita are going to have a big impact on our natural gas situation. Worth taking a look. Even if things aren’t as bad as he says we’re bound to see some impacts.
