I just read in Tim's report that you were talking about energy
at last week's meeting (I was planning to attend but got called
on a repair job about 18:00 that evening.) Anyway, here is an
article on our energy prospects that just "kicks ass." -Dexter
"Petroleum geologists have known for 50 years that global oil
production would "peak" and begin its inevitable decline within
a decade of the year 2000. Moreover, no renewable energy
systems have the potential to generate more than a tiny fraction
of the power now being generated by fossil fuels. In short, the
end of oil signals the end of civilization, as we know it."
