Post collapse, just what will we eat…..?
Post collapse, just what will we eat…..? Further to my post where I explained how Australia’s poor soils are largely incapable of growing much more than meat, this article landed in my news feed… Here’s a list of what Australian farmers produce: Each year, on average each Australian farmer feeds 600 people. Agriculture powers 1.6 million Australian jobs. Australian […]
The end of the Oil Age, as we knew it
The end of the Oil Age, as we knew it I’ve just spent the last hour reading this long article, full of links to keep you occupied right through the holidays…. Louis loves his acronyms, and they can be tedious, but this is such an important piece of work. He’s the only person I know […]
It’s all happening…..
It’s all happening….. Anyone who has been following this blog long enough will know that I predicted 2020 was crunch time and that we were heading into the mother of all energy crises. As I write, the UK is in deep turmoil, Germany is making contingency plans for blackouts, Lebanon has turned power off, China’s rationing electricity and India is doing the same. Low rainfall […]

If on a perfect cloudless sunny day you plot the […]

Earth and Humanity
Earth and Humanity Every year, Nate Hagens produces a video for Earth Day. Nate is someone I cannot admire enough. These videos normally last about an hour, but this year one of his University colleagues told him it was about time he stopped pussy footing around and tell it like is. So this year’s effort […]
The implications of collapsing ERoEI
The implications of collapsing ERoEI Judging by the relatively low level of interest the past few articles published here regarding the collapse of fossil fuel ERoEI (along with PV’s) have attracted, I can only conclude that most people just don’t get it……. How can I possibly fix this……? When I first started ‘campaigning’ on the issue […]
