Re: Living Off the Planet (none / 0)

Who said anything about Europe? If you want domestic security of supply, you're talking about just your own country. Then a much better idea is to prestore a few years supply of freeze-dried food which one can live off until domestic farming is recreated. That's much cheaper than constant agribusiness subsidies.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: Living Off the Planet (none / 1)

How so? We did have those amounts of freeze-dried food stored in caves during the cold war. Which, given a bit of thought, is something of a parody. But then so are all worries over food security of supply.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
