I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.

We were watching HGTV the other night and they mentioned a product I had never heard of before which should work for people like us.
The product is a paint additive called insuladd @ http://www.insuladd.com/
and is suppossed to work by making the paint on your exterior walls reflective to heat. We bought a great old masonary house which leaves us with no way to insulate and our HVAC bills really show it. However before I invest in this new product I would like to know if anyone here has used it and what were your results? _________________ Always appeal to a man's enlightened self interest, you can trust him to look out for himself honestly, It's when you appeal to his Honor or the Common Good that he stops paying attention.

I have heard of it. It's advertised on HomePower magazine. It seems to be real. Next time I paint a room I'll try it, but I have no experience with it yet.
A simple lightbulb in a box painted with it, and then an identical box without it should show whether its effect is significant. _________________ 100% of the electricity needed for this post was generated by ME.
