Ball and his book were concerned about an Islamic Balkanization proposition initially forwarded by Dr.

[Gizmodo Australia] The China Syndrome And Why We Wussed Out On Nuclear Power ...: Storing and disposing of nuclear fuel is not a technical issue, the amount of material with long half lives is minuscule while the amount of material with short lived ones is the same as the Oxygen we breathe, the Carbon and Potassium we eat and the Uranium we walk by every time we go past a granite building. Besides, chemical waste is a poison forever, not 10, to 10,000, not even 100,000 years, forever.

[STWR Home Page] The World Food Crisis in Historical Perspective - STWR - Share The ...: Urban-based, food riots today express dissatisfaction with neoliberal policies, which have dismantled public capacity (specifically food reserves), and deepened food dependency across much of the global South. In response, governments implemented moratoria on food exports, and in 2008, wheat export bans or restrictions in Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Argentina closed off a third of the global market, and for rice, export bans or restrictions from China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, India, and Cambodia left only a few export suppliers, mainly Thailand and the United States, fueling agflation.[32] According to one report:

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | DrumBeat: July 16, 2009: In the Chinese and US economy, there are lots of other energy sources that can subsidize the purchase of oil by being much cheaper per BTU.

[Comments for The Anthropik Network] The Anthropik Network » The Collapse of the Soviet Union: Like all other empires, the ultimate cause of the Soviet Union’s collapse was as simple as complexity beyond the point of diminishing returns, a function of energy available. That is sobering not only because it denies our ideological triumph of free market democracy, but it also forbodes that such a system will be equally ill-adapted to the eventual global peaking of oil, where the free market strategy reaches its limits.

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum: Europe | Encircling the peak of world oil production ...: In the background I expect MX exports to be pretty close to zero, for total North American crude oil production to have fallen well below 10 Mb/day, and for a discussion of selected peaks in other countries to be underway. That will be a fertile environment for political "sales." Especially when you consider that the current administration has decided to solve the liquid fuels problem via a massive new investment in car companies, roads, cars, and biofuels and also by addressing emissions from the power grid.

[Econbrowser] Econbrowser: Saudi oil production: The plateau of 2004-6 showed the peak pumping levels the Saudi oil industry was capable of at this hectic time (9.5 mbpd), with one final push that enabled just 100,000 barrels extra over 2005, for various reasons like maintaining a stable oil price and the hurricane Katrina....

[Energy and Metal Market Research] Economic Reality Check Hits Commodity Markets - News, Analysis ...: While a soft tone in the U.S. dollar should continue to support prices throughout the remainder of this year, the deceleration in the pace of Chinese imports is expected to expose a picture of ongoing underlying weakness in commodity demand in the third quarter. As well, it appears as though the market has snapped back into reality, recognizing that despite some improvement in some economic indicators, the economy is still in a very weak state.

The short-term supply disruption and resulting price spikes created fuel shortages and provided a glimpse of the problems of developing an economy with constrained energy resources.

[The Big Picture] The Curse of Cheap Money | The Big Picture: This guy HAS A RECORD of fighting for the consumer, exposing fraud, speaking truth to power, being a bit charismatic (some say he looks like Lincoln) and STILL WORKING on overthrowing the established corporate takeover of our government. The media did such a good job of giving him NO air time, talking negatively (as if their own personal record of work could even come close to what Nader’s done for the consumer - ALL OF US) about him, and not allowing him into ANY of the debates that it’s no wonder he didn’t make a better showing.

[Seattle Peak Oil Awareness] Seattle Peak Oil Awareness » Blog Archive » Book Review: 'Tar ...: Tar Sands concludes with twelve sensible “steps to energy sanity.” Above all, these recommendations stress the need to admit that cheap oil is over, to limit tar sands production rather than expanding it and to use tar sands energy to move beyond our oil dependence, not to cling to it. Nikiforuk observes that since only 3 percent of the bitumen contained in the tar sands has been produced so far, there’s still great potential for catastrophe if we choose the wrong path.

Blog ...: Nuclear energy - aka atomic fission - would win significant markets and stop the combustion of large quantities of coal, gas and oil.
