Energy, energy, we need energy for modern life! If the markets can not supply it at a reasonable cost, you are going to suffer! So what are you going to do?
Don’t worry, be happy, get another beer and turn on a foot ball game!

For us, at this time, energy is done. The energy you have will be the energy you stockpile: gas/diesel tanks, woodpiles, wind/solar (due to the energy consumed by their manufacture, these are a store of energy, not a source, but they are a *big* store) If you own land growing trees, or food for draft animals, then you are *producing* energy.

Men go insane in groups, and recover their sanity one at a time. Until society recovers, we will need to reduce our energy usage to the above limits.

The real nightmare is for people who live in buildings with windows that don’t open, or towers constructed to be accessed by elevators that won’t operate. Imagine being elderly in a senior high-rise tower… or a building which has NO WAY to retrofit a biomass burning stove. Public policy has created cities of infrastructure that will prove death traps. Also, “fossil fuel” is an advertising lie created by Rockerfeller to raise gasoline prices faking its scarcity. Oil is a renewable energy that is found in “certain” locations on our earth. We have not done ourselves any favors by allowing the environmentalist disinformation that “fossil fuels” are bad, unsustainable, or not capable of being “clean”. We must speak up loudly now as to the wrong-headedness of civilized mass suicide.

Yep. If I lived in the ‘burbs with a two car garage, and no viable bugout plan and didn’t already have a fireplace I’d have a woodburning stove, pipe and the rest of the fitments to make it work as well as all the firewood I could store on one side of the garage. The other side would have a 500 gal cistern and all the gutter/downspout I’d need to catch whatever rain/snow I could. Oh, and enough manual tools to be able to fix up all that stuff without electricity or compressed air.

funny though, all of the EU dictatorships are still buying Russian fuel, they are just buying it from China instead, thus madame president, you are full of crap!
