If you work out global oil reserves in average decilitres per square kilometer and then convert back into US gallons you will instantly see that this 'Peak Oil' thing is strictly an American problem.
Mwa ha ha ha it was all a French plot - you are now all doomed due to your inability to understand our perfidious Gallic mathematics...

FWIW, Charlie put my quote here. Thanks Charlie, it was a first. My wife, who is French, wishes to move back to France and after several years of discussing it I see the wisdom in her arguments, emotion aside.
If I gotta relocalize somewhere the Loire Valley beats the crap out of suburbia U.S. style.

We have plenty of uneducated bureaucrats that have never produced a thing of value in their life "working" at the Fed. It would be a boon to our society to replace them with my cat. Those criminals have done more to damage Americans than Al Queda could ever dream. It's no "masterful piece of central banking" for Gentle Ben to print up another billion to bail out bankers at expense of the poor. Bendover says that "average Americans who save dollars are unaffected by the deval-- (caught himself) decline of the dollar." Bullshit. And not even plausible-sounding bullshit, like Greenspan's. The only difficult thing about central banking is coming up with the fresh lies all the time, and revamping your stupid economic theories about "conundrums" and "global savings gluts" and the like to misdirect blame away from yourself, earning the glowing admiration of the buffoons in congress whose projects you finance with inflation. It's no wonder they can't even find 7 rats to do it, because rats know a sinking ship when they smell one, and if there is one thing a politician knows how to do, it's push off the problem to later generations, pass the buck, and cover their ass.

Nothing is truly sustainable. In the fullness of time, every star in the universe will die.
Before that, the sun will die.
So the question becomes sustainable over what period of time?
A few decades works for me.
What I like about Jack is that a lot of what Jack says is what many people should admit to themselves. Some, like Jack apparently could live with that admission but others might reflect a bit.

These economic reports, at least the ones that are publicly stated, have been tinkered with and watered down over the past few years so that the numbers will look good in the media. This is like doing a beautiful landscape painting on your car windshield. Looks good, but does not help you steer, and does not help you do any future planning.
