[cross posted to my peak oil blog Peaknix]

Its funny how a massive and scary idea like Peak Oil can wrap it's tentacles around the mind and nudge thoughts in particular directions. There is certainly the whole grief dynamic that one must cycle through, of necessity it is a loop and no resolution because we live within the moment of collapse, not the other side.

But Peak Oil was a specific concept that my scientific mind gravitated toward, it seemed like the most likely candidate for the next event horizon.

$141,974.35

That is the amount of real actual money that my father socked away in investment and savings instruments for our family. He went to school for quite a long time – became an industrial engineer with an MBA.

I know this is a tiny pittance to most people, in our family, it’s a LOT of money. In comparison, I have no assets, I only hold school debt. My net worth is a negative. You can imagine that $141,974.35 means something to me and to my mom.

My dad was also a first generation immigrant from Colombia, working, living, raising a family here in the USA as a full US citizen. Spoke better English than most Americans (as many professional class immigrants to this country tend to do).

Petro-armageddon: $500/ barrel oil in several years

So, you may or may not have read the recent article in the Belfast Telegraph "Opec warns oil prices could rocket to $500 a barrel"

Where we read:

Iran's OPEC governor Mohammad Ali Khatibi has warned oil prices could reach as high as $500 per barrel in a few years' time if the US dollar falls further and political tension worsens.

As many of you know, I live in Massachusetts. The farmers almanac says that this winter season is going to be a doozy (colder, more snows, especially in Feb).

There is some rumblings amongst the MA state gov re: "warning" people that their oil heating bills are going to be "bad" this year but I have not heard of any solutions. I think congress just underfunded LIHEAP so dont look for federal help. This is simply talk talk talk, where are the initiatives?

I need help envisioning how this all might play out.

(Cross-posted to Peaknix)

"Clop clop clop" the noise droned her to a quiet meditation as she and the horse lurched ahead of the others, a bit of a trot into some shade both she and the animal appreciated. Their makeshift wagon carried baskets, covered by white cloths, filled with aged goats cheese and fresh bread. She had pulled these toothsome grainy loaves from their earthen bread oven that morning, ducking as the poof of hot moisture blasted past the broken clay seal on the door.
