No, we will drop very far, but land in a relatively comfortable position,
considering good health care and lots of other niceties don't take much energy. "DDB" wrote in message news:drEVb.445525$X%5.408238@pd7tw2no... The sky is falling!!!!!!! the sky is falling!!!!! "T.

Non-petrol agriculture is a really interesting topic to me. If you cut out
grain fed meat and processed, and grow a big garden, that is most of our agriculture. Also I think farming is an ideal application for alternative energy. I'm thinking some kind of center-pivot system fed by electricity. I think the best hobby that could sweep America would be aerobic gardening. I envision a single-row human powered tiller. Then there is the sustainable bio-fueled farm machine that even manufactures its replacement and manufactures fertilizer - the horse. It worked for my dad. "Mitch Haley" wrote in message ...

I've mentioned the impending oil crash to people and get the reply that "they" will come up with a solution by then. After all, the Titanic is only listing the least tiny little bit ... not to worry. So...what you're telling me is that I can only enjoy driving my Corvette for the next 30 years or so? Doug |

Sorry about your penis. Yeah, especially when it gets recalled by the factory. My phallic substitute is safe; I drive a '96 Corvette, and the recall starts with the '97s. Doug |
