Decline in Real Estate

Yea Hotzcatz, you hit the nail on the head! I posted that Peak Oil link a few posts above and have talked about it many times before such as on the 'future of east Hawaii' thread, but most people don't wan't to hear about it.

Simplified explanation of Peak Oil:

There is evidence that global oil production actually peaked last December and OPEC has produced less oil every month since for the past year. Peak oil is here now, not 10 or 20 years from now!

This was the subject of those 'secretive' energy task force meetings Cheney held years ago (according to task force member Matt Simmons now sounding the alarm about peak oil).

Here's a Sept. 30, 2006 interview with Matt Simmons: Topic: Update on Peak Oil and Beyond

Peak oil has been kept a secret to delay panic as they fear it will make our financial systems and dollar collapse. This why we are really in Iraq and will be fighting more wars for every last drop of oil instead of creating an 'apollo' program for alternative energy and to find solutions to wean us off of oil. The problem is we eat oil. It takes 10 calories of fossil fuels to put each single calorie of food on our table (this is the most unbelievably huge problem for the future of the human race).

My wife and I have been aware of Peak oil for years and have been preparing for it. Getting out of debt, we've planted oil palm trees for future biodiesel production, a full organic orchard with over 100 fruit trees. We are preparing to build an off-the-grid home with wind and pv's, a permaculture farm including aquaculture.

There have been three presentations to Congress regarding Peak Oil by Republican Congressman Roscoe Bartlett - MD. Below are links to info on his Congressional web site.
