Investing In a Resource-Constrained World (Part V)

My oh my - an investment site - best I recall, time is our friend. Start early, ASAP, much as possible, etc.

Same for solar. Sooner the better, as much as possible. And wind. AND, How can we ignore FREE MONEY (power or energy, the difference is time)??? My goodness.................


Marks World Energy Argument would leave France without 83% nuclear, Brazil without 45% biofuel, Germany without 40% solar, etc. And, on the average, he and I are both not here.

As for cold fusion (v/s hot fusion like goes on at the Sun right now and of which we can reap many free benefits, eg. solar - get it??)), you can start installing as much of it right now as you wish; I'll push solar (with it's low, but free, conversion efficiencies, and wind, even tho it has conversion inefficiencies. And the tortise wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark, I am pleased that you finally admitted (further on in your article) that China's population control method is painful; of course it's only painful for those that are terminated, and somewhat less (maybe) for those with a conscience: for now, that is. You have no clue how painful it is really going to be.

No then, if the US stopped wasting 70% of it's current oil and gas consumption on moving goods and people around this country, but instead electrifed the rails and interstates to do so using solar and wind, in at least 33 years according to Mark, there would be a lot more oil and gas available for others (assuming any's left - which we do assume, and also hope); and what's best, WE WON'T BE DEPENDENT UPON IT IN THE US. NOW THAT'S A REAL BENEFIT; A REAL PAYOFF; A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT. And, as validly mentioned many times by others various times herein and elsewhere, if solar were subsidized instead of oil, etc., WE'D LOVE THE RESULT. As for investors, they'd have to bet on solar/wind instead of buggywhips (oil/gas/coal).

As for nuclear, it will remain. However, fission is not unlimited, as stated. I'll give you a pound of fissionalble uranium and guarantee you it will provide a limited amount of energy; not so with the sun. It's truly unlimited. And consistent (you just have to broaden your perspective). Think WORLD, like Mark does. Only do so properly.

Mark should be pleased with these response. It's does sharpen his thinking. Maybe even others. Hopefully, some of it get's to DC LEADERSHIP AND THOSE THAT PUT THEM THERE.
