    Its not a matter of if. Its when. Even if somehow the world went back to pre war status. We have ate through so much of the reserves to make it seem everything is normal that I dont think we have enough supply to wait for shipping, processing, and distribution. We are in for a real disruption of diesel. And I dont know how bad its going to get. Stock up on rice and beans is all im saying.

      Yeah, and it won’t solve all our problems, but I think everyone that can afford it should have some kind of solar setup, even if very minimal. For energy security, and more so just an awareness of power consumption. When you can see what you’re generating vs what you’re consuming, it’s hard to not want to optimize your power consumption.

      With that and a bicycle you can retain a lot of modern conveniences with very little energy demand. And in the event of a near societal collapse from a sudden severe fuel shortage, you can be pretty okay….as long as you can get food…
