Peak Oil, Peak Energy -- Probably Not

Strange to find this article in Salon.

Two arguments for switching to renewable energy -- the depletion of fossil fuels and national security -- are no longer plausible.

Also addresses the global warming issue:

The scenarios with the most catastrophic outcomes of global warming are low probability outcomes -- a fact that explains why the world’s governments in practice treat reducing CO2 emissions as a low priority, despite paying lip service to it. But even if the worst outcomes were likely, the rational response would not be a conversion to wind and solar power but a massive build-out of nuclear power. Nuclear energy already provides around 13-14 percent of the world’s electricity and nearly 3 percent of global final energy consumption, while wind, solar and geothermal power combined account for less than one percent of global final energy consumption.

Worth reading the whole thing.

[Cheap NFL Jerseys]

It is a popular way of showing support and also to show which team you are currently a fan of. With the huge variety of teams, there should be all sorts of NFL jerseys available. But most of the genuine ones come really expensive and not everyone can afford them.
