I think your blog is excellent and I couldn't agree with you more!<br /><br />So, it is only greed that prevents the world from using what resources we have left in some form of equanimity rather than hell-for-leather all out war to grab what is left - as seems to be on the cards.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Chris.Professor Chris Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060542089215379056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-71413636380917904032009-07-10T00:39:10.410+01:002009-07-10T00:39:10.410+01:00you highlight the fact that we may be approaching ...you highlight the fact that we may be approaching the "end of capitalism" and the end of the growth era. i think you're spot on with this analysis, and have been developing this line of thought on my own blog, http://endofcapitalism.com<br /><br />i also want to say that i congratulate you for considering how the scarcity of energy (oil) will affect the world's people. it seems to me that this is an entirely political question.<br /><br />we can use the remaining oil for war, vacations for the rich, and unnecessary consumption - or we can use the resources responsibly and ensure that no one goes hungry or is denied health care unnecessarily.<br /><br />just some thoughts<br /><br />alex<br />endofcapitalism.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-71370330992731281772009-07-08T10:53:20.544+01:002009-07-08T10:53:20.544+01:00Thanks!

Just some steps humans might take collectively to cut our vulnerable state in the service of oil.<br /><br />I am convince that running short of energy and other resources - liquid fuels most pressingly - will strike us more immediately than global-warming, although that legacy may lie in wait for us later on.<br /><br />Either way, we need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels, rather than planning to consume ever more of them in the interests of economic "growth"!<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Chris.Professor Chris Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060542089215379056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-52887115768712975792009-07-08T10:38:18.827+01:002009-07-08T10:38:18.827+01:00I have read this post and found it very interestin...I have read this post and found it very interesting.Car Reviewshttp://autoreviews.seekmeup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-26172750992350980032009-07-07T16:02:16.684+01:002009-07-07T16:02:16.684+01:00Thanks very much Dave,

I will see what Alexander Koewius (my co-author on the rest of the article a retired German engineer who knows his maths!) thinks of it when he returns from holiday with Frau Koewius, but by then I will have put up the web site with a journal publication to follow.<br /><br />This however, is pure "Chris" as he asked me to write the epilogue to our thinking, so I hope to have done him justice here.<br /><br />Deep regards too,<br /><br />Chris.Professor Chris Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060542089215379056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-56715872625054295382009-07-07T12:45:04.922+01:002009-07-07T12:45:04.922+01:00Spot on Chris, I can't disagree with one word....Spot on Chris, I can't disagree with one word. I think that the reason I have not been posting so much lately is that I agree with you. you will have to be more controversial if you want a few more comments.<br /><br />Deep Regards<br /><br />DaveYorkshireminerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03364251607711042067noreply@blogger.com
