Blogger will put your posts into a feed. It's a nice way to retain readers and keep them notified of new posts.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure, but you may have to log into Blogger Draft to turn the follow feature on. Same password and user id, but different url: http://draft.blogger.com/home<BR/><BR/>To see how follow works, visit my blog.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>MMotherhood for the Weakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813197295291518166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702832906954132364.post-71748871267639711992009-01-03T06:45:00.000-06:002009-01-03T06:45:00.000-06:00Hi Novacadia,You are right, the same scenario will...Hi Novacadia,<BR/><BR/>You are right, the same scenario will unfold for all of the world, including Europe. France's nuclear power depends on the highways for maintenance of the power grid.<BR/><BR/>I agree about asphalt, and even if there is a surplus of asphalt from refining heavy oil and tar sands, the diesel to deliver it will be very expensive.Clifford J.

This is a given for Peak Oilers. What continues to boggle my brain is the degree to which the public is out of the loop...with no small thanks to the media gatekeepers.<BR/><BR/>In your last para. in this post you have you take an initial step towards describing the collapse of the industrial nation state. Such collapse will not be limited to the United States.<BR/><BR/>In your list of infrastructure meltdown, you have failed to include the manufacture of ashpalt. Let's not forget that it is also an oil byproduct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702832906954132364.post-57472111105698602432009-01-02T17:38:00.000-06:002009-01-02T17:38:00.000-06:00Previous commentators on your blog, who believe th...Previous commentators on your blog, who believe that America can drill their way out of trouble, have clearly missed the point completely (as indeed did Sarah Palin); however it may be that the present 'credit crunch' and consequent reduction in demand may defer the inevitable by a year or two. I have not read through your archive, but I presume you are familiar with the Transition Movement, whose philosophy is one which I think will provide some answers. The main thrust is that solutions to the impending crisis will be brought about from the bottom rather than the top - although it would be great to be able to take national governments along. Unfortunately they, along with big industry, appear to keep their heads in the sand. However, I shall continue to pursue local solutions!timxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906163084335439894noreply@blogger.com
