The Long Emergency may have begun.

[c9]

What is not being discussed rationally by the mainstream media is Katrina’s impact on energy production. They don’t dare. By my calculations and those of oil energy expert Jan Lundberg, the United States has just lost between 20% and 25% of its energy supply. My projection is that it’s not coming back — at least not most of it.

From The Wilderness article

I hate feeling like I'm crying wolf, but yikes.

I like your thinking leapfish! I needed someone to take away some worry. :o)

Vinny's good at that. Far smarter than I.

See now, I worry about your self-confidence living with such a great guy like leapfish. Sure Vinny is hot enough to get a hot guy like he did, and smart enough to marry him too, but you gotta make sure to remember how great you are as well.

Yup, that *Vinny*, he’s a good one. :)

(great user pic by the way!)

Sorry, I’m done now.

Thanks, Matt. I was afraid that I'd get slammed for taking even a moderate response. People are pretty passionate these days.

oops, yeah, I may have even gone a little off the wall myself at some point. Again though, I really liked what you had to say and also what you've written below. g'night! :)
