I have not defined what I’m looking to do here but it’s along the lines of getting us off of oil and attempting a smooth transition to renewables. I think it might just be easier than all of us thought even 2 years ago. I’ll try and put up a page that goes over this because the math is irrefutable. Lets start here with basic exponential growth. Because it starts with population which requires energy, which requires dollars. And the US dollar is the petro dollar. At this point we are past peak oil, AAA said recently that gas won’t go under $3 ever again
One thing that I find interesting is that about 7min into this video he discusses 7% growth, which is code for doubling every ten years. So I just got back from Vail. In 1963 when Vail opened it cost $5 for a lift ticket. In 1973 $10, In 1983 $20, In 1993 $40, In 2003 $80. So It should be $160+ now in 2013/14, however at the window it’s $139 right now. Pretty darn close, but growth has been around 2% for the last 5 years so that fits in nicely.
Arithmetic, Population, & Energy
But also with the things that are happening recently.
