Unlocking energy whether the steam engine, geothermal, hydro, tidal, wind, solar, coal, oil or nuclear, unlocked the comforts (and perils) of modern society.
Nothing compares to oil for density and lightness, so for air and surface travel, it’s key (barring biofuel)
There is potential for fission and closing the energy loop as Japan tried (Joyo and Monju), France (Phenix and SuperPhenix), the US (IFR closed by Clinton) and the Russians with their BN-600, 800 fast reactors that burn the actinides and leave very little waste, which is politically unpalatable because reckless war mongers want nuclear weapons. The key to energy production exists already.
Justice won’t come until humanity returns to morality and away from the love of power, pleasure, ego and money.
>Nothing compares to oil for density and lightness, so for air and surface travel, it’s key (barring biofuel)
Very true.
Though I will take specific issue with bio fuel. In particular Red Palm oil, which is now farmed on large plantations in tropical regions around the world for biodiesel. You may remember all the hype about golden rice as a source of vitamin A. Red Palm Oil was/is a fantastic source of vitamin A, E and other fat soluble nutrients. There never was a need for all the money wasted on GMO golden rice.
So when the greed behind bio fuel stampedes capitalists to take nourishing foods and turn them into fuel stocks we should draw the line. Just say No to hijacking nutritionally dense foods and using them for bio fuel.
I agree with your point about oil being energy dense. It is a position JMG has spoken on many times.
My deepest concern about fossil fuel is what it has done to us humans. I will give a very simple example that may not work for you. If you don't do fossil fuel you are much more savvy about doing anything physical. My wife and I mostly garden by hand. When I say mostly, I mean greater than 80%. We stay in good shape that way, don't have to drive to the gym or exercise class. We are happy as gardening is very meaningful and so we are grounded and happy in the face of the madness all around.
Humanity has done so much on the backs of slaves. It seems we have evolved because of fossil fuel. But when fossil fuel runs out and there is nothing ready to replace it ( realizing efforts in many areas see https://www.lppfusion.com/), we come to the grim fact we haven't evolved at all. That is why I wish to with draw from fossil fuels.
Lastly blue green algae or cyanobacteria have been cracking the water molecule for billions of years at room temperature. We have studied them intently but remain ignorant and do not know yet how to do that. Read the works of Dr. Lynn Margulis on bacteria, you will be humbled. Compared to them (they really do terraform a planet ours), we are elephants in a china closet.
Biofuel is not the answer well because we need to eat. What we are seeing now, just as we saw with the Plandemonium (pandemic by fiat - via testing fraud) is Peak Oil by fiat via causing. The resulting consequence to the scarcity of electricity relative to the demand is going to make electricity so expensive to be unaffordable hence basic income and far less freedoms.
Kind of you to put it this way and I dont need to nor care to read Greer or the other guy (Ok I'll prob skim to understand their perspective). However, Peal Oil, simply put is just a Malthusian Manifestation absolutely to control us. In essence is the overarching nonsense of al things WEF. 'Nuff said. IMHO.
Kunstler is good and worth a read...while he forecast energy would become scarce and more expensive, he walks the walk..I think his blog is called living in the long emergency. Very smart man. Peak Oil might be true or not, but I am tired of having it used as a justification for wrenching our society into economic collapse and chaos when we have time to figure it out - and I think that is what Kunstler is trying to do...as we all realize we are not in control of oil and energy, our greedy elites are along with corparions and tax codes and drilling permits...so the industry is not allowed to be free market driven at all.....and if we develop smaller fission for local needs there might be enough left over to drive our cars.
Only the terminally blind are foolish enough to claim resource depletion is not real. The grades of mineral ores have been declining for decades (as one would expect), and oil extraction is following the same path -- less quantity, less quality. We have enjoyed a slightly extended "Plateau" in oil production, thanks to damaging and short-lived fracking processes. Maybe you'd like to explain why oil producers chose to undertake this massive and costly effort while there is still "So much" conventional oil available? Until you can put some actual figures on "Replenishment rates" (IF they are even meaningful), you're whistling in the dark.
Lithium is cosmogenic, though not to any immediately useful extent. Other than nuking it transforming cobalt to nickel, it isn't going anywhither except dilution.
Yours and Barney Rubble's must be the oddest argument for Georgism I've ever seen.
It might not be obvious from my comments but my experience is with Oil and gas exploration and I have 1st hand information related to US Govt and DOJ prevention of O&G exploration. Admittedly I should not have ascribed a preference for electric vehicles over ICE to Don but I did. Lithium and Cobalt mining incident to the idiotic notion of electric vehicles over petrochemical fueled vehicles being better for the environment. And quite a lot of slave labor is employed in dangerous places to scrounge for those minerals which will be depleted eons before oil. FFS
May the Lord receive the soul of Benedict XVI with open arms. I am still baffled to this day by his “resignation”. Often, a thought comes to mind: that this mysterious act was necessary in order to unleash the final steps before the second coming. Nevertheless, we know not the time nor the hour. Requiescat in Pace.
I confess that I was really angry at the time. I spent my hour-long morning walk mauling about it. These walks are usually prayerful, but I was distracted and mad. Felt betrayed. But the Holy Spirit calmed things down.
Brilliant theologian. I intend to acquire the "Collected Works".
peak oil is a myth spread by malthusians and greedy oil companies who want to maintain their monopoly. for example there's a ton of oil off the patagonian coast (that's why the falklands war). there was a recent discovery of a big oil patch off the san diego coast which had evaded exploration for decades - there is growing debate over whether petrochemicals are even a fossil fuel at all and may be created somewhat more rapidly.
russia is burning off natural gas because they don't have enough customers - and haven't had enough customers for years.
even the us govt admits that nuclear fusion is a thing now. i'm all for windmills and solar power (if we can figure out how to do that without china). but it's going to take awhile to get there.
we've been given an unlimitedly abundant universe that keeps expanding . time for us to stop stressing about energy and focus our energy on getting rid of the cabal.
I was an Admin at the Doomstead Diner. I grew tired of the constant rehashing of doom though, more interested what we might actually build as a counterweight to the scientific materialist path. I'm still trying to work that out. (I did riff on your work in my latest post. https://williamhunterduncan.substack.com/p/there-was-no-covid-19-pandemic
I have been reading Greer since 2012, and still follow his work. Having been raised fundamentalist but not adhering, I have found a lot of value in his teachings. He is also very supportive of those Christians who follow him, having some deep reverence for Jesus Christ as well, and encouraging them to use Christian iconography in their ritual.
Covid has brought a lot of people together who would have never come together before.
Thanks Karen, from a pagan lesbo; my only rulers are trees and plants and earth and sky. The rest are clubs to me, and I cannot afford the entry fees, be they monetary or philosophical. More people have been killed in the name of God than any other entity, and all bibles were written by.........men. Now about all that new gold under the vatican, do they need it for more paintings? They're pretty, but...they were made to keep the masses under control, and keep them merrily toiling away. Long lens required.
Maybe you should look at the entry fees again. Man’s religion, and specifically Christianity, has been used as fodder for all the past evils of the world. It is not faith but the human condition which is the cause. Do I really need to point out the genocide and other evil that has been done by governments and men who are atheist. No man made system will lead us to utopia.
How many deaths have been caused by religion? Here's a list of religiously motivated wars and genocides and their death tolls. Let me know if I missed any!

TOTAL: 195,035,000 deaths in the name of religion.
I guaranteed you missed some. But you also missed the point. You didn’t cite the Khmer Rouge massacre, the communist massacre of the Ukrainians, Mao’s purges and massacres. I could look up more, and cite some large numbers too. The point is these political systems that got rid of religion have shown us they are more than capable killing people in the name of their belief system. Are you not aware of what happened in the 20th century? Men without God are killers too. So what is your point? If we abolish religion then we will be better off?
Thanks Jake. My point is to just make my presence known in the midst of a religious crowd. Few folks allow for the existance of the pagan, we are all but invisible unless we speak up.
"God" (Source, Creator, overflowing "troop" (Gad) in OT, though Ayin Sof in Kabbalah) is greatly misrepresented. Deus (theos in Greek, despite Wiktionary claiming not cognate with θεός (theós); it alleges it derive from dyew- "sky, heaven") means devil, as in Sanskrit deva (m), supposedly meaning "heavenly being" (diba (f) - slanderer - in OT). Deus/diabolos throws obstacles and injurious objects across the way. (See Zoroastrianism daeva for more.)
The point of the peek oil comment you referred to in your previous article was that the only rational reason for exterminating us is to prevent something far worse.
It is about explaining the core motivation. What is the alternative you are offering instead, comic book type of villains that do bad things for pleasure because they are possessed by the devil? I do not mean to mock you, but to provoke you to investigate, think and write more about their core or personal motives because I think understanding what drives them as individuals to participate in the conspiracy is paramount.
“Villains that do bad things for pleasure because they are possessed by the devil” is a pretty accurate summation of my working model for what’s happening.
You may still find useful content here at Bailiwick, even if you don’t agree with it, but if that working model by itself is too off-putting, you don’t have to read my work.
Another way to express it, is that the villains, in league with the devil, are interested in harvesting human souls for Lucifer, by steering us to worship false gods, corrupting us and tempting us to sin, and blocking our paths to God’s mercy and God’s grace.
- "You're arguing that they have to kill people in order to save them?"
The idea is more about minimizing total suffering in the long run, so yes in a way, only it is not necessarily to save us as much as to save themselves.
- "If their intentions are benevolent, why are they covert?"
Because it is not quite benevolent, only lesser of two evils. Also, to prevent panic and violence.
- "The earth is clearly able to support 8 billion people."
Maybe only for a little while more.
- "...the population will drop organically."
I suppose the problem could be the environment becoming too toxic.
Sources, please? Your statement reads like wishful fantasy. Why has it been necessary to start (inefficient) fracking in the first place? Greedy people much prefer to enjoy their plunder while they are still alive. They have neither the patience nor the motivation to save something for later.
The obvious answer: because simple/easy ones are no longer available. A buck is a buck. If there is a margin (or a projected one) the oil companies will take it. At today's prices, the fracked wells are quite profitable; a couple years ago they were not. It appears the companies anticipated higher prices, which makes perfect sense unless you believe in rapidly replenishing oil wells.
Fracking overhead, especially disposing of contaminated water, tend to make it a marginally viable option where conventional options are available. Wells replenish at different rates and geologists have figured out how to predict it.
First. Benedict was the right-hand man of now St. John Paul II. I fear their kind might never be seen again.
If I recall correctly, he went to South America on John Paul's orders to read the riot act to the bishops of South America getting involved in Socialism. Francis was one of them. Then he rises to be Pope???
Peak oil and the theory of "fossil fuels" are scams just like Debeers saying diamonds are scarce and valuable. The Abiotic oil theory explains it.
Nearly all oil is biofuel; just 300 million years old. Exact timing of "peak oil" is kinetic, so fixing its timing requires keen knowledge of sociological and engineering factors.
Unlocking energy whether the steam engine, geothermal, hydro, tidal, wind, solar, coal, oil or nuclear, unlocked the comforts (and perils) of modern society.
Nothing compares to oil for density and lightness, so for air and surface travel, it’s key (barring biofuel)

Excellent point
There are many ways to create bio fuels; I even had a student make biofuel in his yard (you get an A, kid)
Many are boondoggles like the one you mentioned. Corn ethanol is another.
My point was that nuclear, while dense, makes for a terrible aircraft idea, though ships work well as long as safety is observed.
I agree with your point about oil being energy dense. It is a position JMG has spoken on many times.

Happy New Year
Yes, we’re still the same in nature, just convinced we’ve “evolved”
Happy gardening
Thank you and a bit more:
"Convinced" is a very kind way of defining our delusion. Nothing we do in general contributes to our evolution. Why are we doing it then?
Biofuel is not the answer well because we need to eat. What we are seeing now, just as we saw with the Plandemonium (pandemic by fiat - via testing fraud) is Peak Oil by fiat via causing.

Nonsense. So in that case what about Cobalt and Lithium. Oil reserves are plentiful. Legislative restrictions rather
than physical limitations are the problem.
What about cobalt and lithium? Do they regenerate, too? You actually think legislation stands in the way of corporate exploitation?
I don't think. I know it. 😉
Lithium is cosmogenic, though not to any immediately useful extent. Other than nuking it transforming cobalt to nickel, it isn't going anywhither except dilution.

Nothing to bright but impossible to ignore in the darkness
This morning we learned he was gone

I am not claiming anything, simply talking about possibilities.
I do not see how your second question relates to what I said in the context of the question I was replying to.
Ha, what drives them is not that deep, it's immediate monetary gratification.
The only problem with anything branded peak oil is the demonstrated inaccuracy if it.
We have in America, at least two centuries of oil resources being pumped dry that subsequently became restocked.
At to that resources liberated by fracking and peak oil becomes another propaganda device.
Sources, please? Your statement reads like wishful fantasy. Why has it been necessary to start (inefficient) fracking in the first place? Greedy people much prefer to enjoy their plunder while they are still alive. They have neither the patience nor the motivation to save something for later.
Why would a profit-driven industry engage in "inefficient" procedures?
The obvious answer: because simple/easy ones are no longer available. A buck is a buck. If there is a margin (or a projected one) the oil companies will take it. At today's prices, the fracked wells are quite profitable; a couple years ago they were not.

That includes the Great Democide of the 2020s.
To imply otherwise is to give Them the out they are seeking.
It was not botched.
It was not bungled.
It was not a blunder.
It was not incompetence.
It was not lack of knowledge.
It was not spontaneous mass hysteria.
The planning occurred in plain sight.

The good citizens believed … and forgot.
This was calculated.
This was formulated.
This was focus-grouped.
This was articulated.
This was manufactured.
This was falsified.
This was coerced.
This was inflicted.
This was denied.
We were terrorized.
We were isolated.
We were gaslit.
We were dehumanized.
We were wounded.
We were killed.

Nearly all oil is biofuel; just 300 million years old. Exact timing of "peak oil" is kinetic, so fixing its timing requires keen knowledge of sociological and engineering factors.
