8. My we're optimistic this AM
The entire derivatives market is based on growth.
The only way we get growth is thru
increased consumption of energy.

And more efficient use only brings in Jevon's Paradox.
http://www-dse.ec.unipi.it/luzzati/italiano/didattica/jevonsparadox.htm

There is a huge reason why gasoline $ are being kept down
now. 80% of US cannot afford $3 gas.

October will be a very interesting month.
And the news dump on TurkeyDay Eve
will be unbelievable, if the suits can wait
that long.
And this time next year I expect all of
my relatives between 18-25 to be in the
military.

And remember infrastructure change with
any new energy source.

We have to contract our energy demand.
