Commenting on Synthetic trees aim to capture CO2 from the air:

CO2=Carbon+Oxygen2. Make me wonder is it Carbon Dioxide Liquid or Carbon Liquid? Quite different from normal tree which absorb the Carbon and release the Oxygen?? :p Would be impressed if it manage to store only the Carbon liquid and convert it into "energy".

Commenting on GM warns of bankruptcy risk:

Thanks for the informed perspective. The change in GM management may have a wider ripple effect. I suspect Rick Wagoner was simply rolled up, stuffed into a cannon, and fired across the bow of other recipients of bailout dollars as a warning shot. I'm interested in your opinion.

Commenting on Singapore inflation rate slows to 2.9% amidst recession and falling demand:

I'm glad to see that you're reporting on deflation. It isn't your fault (how could you know how badly the big banks were understating their leverage with off balance sheet assets) but the worry about hyper inflation was misplaced. Bank of America is leveraged 134/1. Citi is 88/1. The money that has been pumped into the system thus far is not sufficient to prevent deflation and not at all sufficient to warrant inflationary worries. In fact, we need to totally rethink how we see inflation. http://www.debtdeflation.com/blogs/2009/01/31/therovingcavaliersofcredit/ http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2009/02/fiat-world-mathematical-model.html If you are investing with the assumption of inflation in the near or even near-medium term, you'll get soaked. Everything is going to lose value. Commodities, equities and the rest. The whole world is already inflated, and deflating.

Commenting on NYMEX crude oil drops below $50 on global economic slowdown:

I would still say it's demand/supply. It's the futures market - for every long, there is a short. Demand fell through the floor. Global economy crashing.

Commenting on Peak Oil : IEA reports global depletion rate could go up to 9.1%, struggle to produce crude oil:

According to most independent scientific studies, global oil production will now decline from 74 million barrels per day to 60 million barrels per day by 2015. During the same time demand will increase 9%. No one can reverse this trend, nor can we conserve our way out of this catastrophe. Because the demand for oil is so high, it will always exceed production levels; thus oil depletion will continue steadily until all recoverable oil is extracted. Alternatives will not even begin to fill the gap. And most alternatives yield electric power, but we need liquid fuels for tractors/combines, 18 wheel trucks, trains, ships, and mining equipment. The Energy Watch Group (funded by the German Parliament) concludes in a current report titled: “Peak Oil Could Trigger Meltdown of Society:” "By 2020, and even more by 2030, global oil supply will be dramatically lower. This will create a supply gap which can hardly be closed by growing contributions from other fossil, nuclear or alternative energy sources in this time frame." http://www.globaliamagazine.com/?id=482 We are facing the collapse of the highways that depend on diesel trucks for maintenance of bridges, cleaning culverts to avoid road washouts, snow plowing, roadbed and surface repair. When the highways fail, so will the power grid, as highways carry the parts, transformers, steel for pylons, and high tension cables, all from far away. With the highways out, there will be no food coming in from "outside," and without the power grid virtually nothing works, including home heating, pumping of gasoline and diesel, airports, communications, and automated systems. This is documented in a free 48 page report that can be downloaded, website posted, distributed, and emailed: http://www.peakoilassociates.com/POAnalysis.html I used to live in NH-USA, but moved to a sustainable place.

Commenting on Peak Oil : IEA reports global depletion rate could go up to 9.1%, struggle to produce crude oil:

Anybody that has studied the production data and the discovery date is just dreaming if that think that oil production will ever hit 90mbd. At least it wont without a massive ramp up of tar sands production which is very costly and evironmentally damaging and will only be able to offset production declines for a few years. The world is going to have to voluntarily reduce usage or have reduced usage imposed by nature. There are two main ways to reduce usage. Cut out all recreational usage of fuel, and use more fuel efficient vehicals. Cutting electricity usage helps a lot too because the energy saves can can free up coal for conversion to liquids for fuel replacement. Also the electricity saved can help fuel the energy hungry production of alternate sources. The other way to reduce is die off.......massive wars........economic collapse causeing widespread disease, famine, lack of health care, suicide, civil unrest including looting, killing. Yeah.....that would do it.......lets have a nuclear war with a follow up massive famine and kill of 3 quarters of the worlds population.....that way there will be enough oil to go around again and I can keep driving my hummer and going to bed with five lights on and two TVs and a computer going while I sleep. Just use lots of neutron bombs so we don't damage the infrastructure, especially them oil fields and refineries etc.

Commenting on United States Postal Service to cut 40000 jobs in first layoff in history:

The layoffs are craft employees only. right now we have approximately 1 manager to 16 employees. this company has to reduce ranks. it must reduce the wastefull cost also at the top. when 40,000 craft jobs are eliminated there will be more managers to do what? then what does the ratio to management to employee become? any bussiness would fail with these statisics!

Commenting on Barack Obama wins, to preside over : two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century:

Yep, Peak Oil is a challenge. According to most independent scientific studies, global oil production will now decline from 74 million barrels per day to 60 million barrels per day by 2015. During the same time demand will increase 14%. This is equivalent to a 33% drop in 7 years. No one can reverse this trend, nor can we conserve our way out of this catastrophe. Because the demand for oil is so high, it will always exceed production levels; thus oil depletion will continue steadily until all recoverable oil is extracted. Alternatives will not even begin to fill the gap. And most alternatives yield electric power, but we need liquid fuels for tractors/combines, 18 wheel trucks, trains, ships, and mining equipment.
