We cannot drill our way out of this oil crisis. Since 2000, oil companies working in the U.S. have doubled the number of wells drilled per year.
Although increased drilling has added new oil to the nation's supply, it has not done so fast enough to offset the terminal decline of existing fields.
We are going to have to import more of our oil. Period.

You guys just had to go and turn my housing thread into a cannibalism discussion, didn't you?
I'm still going to enjoy my hot baths. I can read Lovecraftian fiction about feasting on human flesh while I'm in there, and still enjoy it. I'm like Ash in BigTex's avatar. You cannot stop me. As my brother would say, "Give up while your hope is small."
Right now I am just trying to calculate how to distribute my preps (seriously). But for security reasons I suppose I won't get into details on that here. I might have a couple of years ago, but now I think things are getting more serious. Maybe we should take the rest of this conversation into the Doomers Only forum? _________________ The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." - George Carlin

Not a bad idea, especially if you want to hear more about cannibalism!
Seriously though, I wouldn't suggest posting much about preps.
Roccman has a different opinion, but his situation may be different
being rooted in a community and all. But if you are going to seek
input regarding preps, I think a closed forum is a better idea.

But you know, I don't think it's either/or.
You can talk generally about this or that, what works and what doesn't without describing anything you have actually done.
You might even have a "neighbor" with really impressive preps. _________________ There's something out there. That witch in the cellar is only part of it. It lives...out in those woods, in the dark...something that's come back from the dead.

Sure, I'm just saying if she feels some reservations, why not just go
with a more private forum. There's already enough information on the
"Preparing for the Future" threads and the internet doesn't need to
know what kind of gun she sleeps with under her pillow or whatever.
The only problem with asking the "Doomers Only" club is that she'll get
doomer responses!

What's this about a "Doomers Only" club/forum?
If there is a sanctum sanctorum, how may one enter? _________________ There's something out there. That witch in the cellar is only part of it. It lives...out in those woods, in the dark...something that's come back from the dead.

If you're uber-doomer enough and it takes a day or so for approvals to
go though. The Doomer usergroup helps keep our cannibalism rituals
off the main page.
