Good work. I have a dozen or more links to substack folk writing about the issues of the day, most of them critical of Covid Policy, but none so focused on "bread and butter" realities.

I sold my house in the city and see about going off grid.

Thank you. I don't like sharing opinion, something I will insert a little of my opinions, but that is about it, and usually within the theme. I tried to follow some of these other Substack but after a few months I just unsubbed, too much opinion and graph analyzes (with bad math from both sides), too little actual helpful... well, anything.

Wish I was off grid lol, best choice you made.

Lost credibility at the climate change bit. Oops, my bad, you were quoting someone, and you also pointed out the political BS.

There is no real attempt to transition off of fossil fuels.

EVs and 'renewable' energy are complete bullshit - but the hordes cannot be spooked by the prospect of peaking out on the life blood that ensures there is hope for a future.

So the PTB foist this nonsense on them.

Try this - ask 10 people if they think oil is finite. 9 will say yes - 1 will say nah it's abiotic.

Then asked them if they are concerned about oil peaking and civilization collapsing...

Guess what the response will be .... (I've done it - I know).

The PR Team has done a fantastic job with the renewable energy mass formation

And hiding these truths:

Conventional Oil peaked in 2005 http://www.euanmearns.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/C-Cdec141.png

Shale in 2018.

According to Rystad, the current resource replacement ratio for conventional resources is only 16 percent. Only 1 barrel out of every 6 consumed is being replaced with new resources

Oil Discoveries are at record lows https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/icbkDFACM4iA/v2/800x-1.png

Shale binge has spoiled US reserves, top investor warns Financial Times.

Preface. Conventional crude oil production may have already peaked in 2008 at 69.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) according to Europe’s International Energy Agency (IEA 2018 p45). The U.S. Energy Information Agency shows global peak crude oil production at a later date in 2018 at 82.9 mb/d (EIA 2020) because they included tight oil, oil sands, and deep-sea oil. Though it will take several years of lower oil production to be sure the peak occurred. Regardless, world production has been on a plateau since 2005.

What’s saved the world from oil decline was unconventional tight “fracked” oil, which accounted for 63% of total U.S. crude oil production in 2019 and 83% of global oil growth from 2009 to 2019. So it’s a big deal if we’ve reached the peak of fracked oil, because that is also the peak of both conventional and unconventional oil and the decline of all oil in the future.

SEE PAGE 59 - THE PERFECT STORM : The economy is a surplus energy equation, not a monetary one, and growth in output (and in the global population) since the Industrial Revolution has resulted from the harnessing of ever-greater quantities of energy. But the critical relationship between energy production and the energy cost of extraction is now deteriorating so rapidly that the economy as we have known it for more than two centuries is beginning to unravel https://ftalphaville-cdn.ft.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Perfect-Storm-LR.pdf

Yes we are, we are late to one actually. Sorry for taking long to reply, barrage of notifications I really need to find a way to make these notifications cleaner, or at least get only the meaningful ones.
