155. Every calorie of food contains 7 to 10 calories of fossil fuel energy.
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 09:42 AM by GliderGuider
Oil is trading over $74.00 a barrel, up from $20.00 at the start of 2002...

The price of oil is on its way up because demand has exceeded supply. This situation is not going to change - we're pumping the stuff about as hard as we can and demand is still going up. Expect food prices to follow along obediently.

Isn't Peak Oil fun?
