Anyone worried about Egypt??

He made very good but scary points about how the price of fuel is going up while India & China are growing 9.5% per year in the midst of this global recession! That means, approximately, their oil consumption is going up that fast as well. Additionally, Egypt is one of the world's foremost grain producers. Unrest there, may lead to another year of global food shortages and resulting global unrest. Not to be to foreboding, but we need to pay attention to all this.

I agree Eddie....we should be paying attention and watching closely.

This may be slightly off the subject of current events in Egypt but I'll tell it anyway. I'm FINALLY beginning to strongly believe that the United States should be investing heavily in wind, solar and low impact hydro-power. Anything and everything to help kick our habit of relying on foriegn oil, fossil fuels and the wasting of good forests, etc. In my opinion there should be an additional three R's taught in school which are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

I know I sound like I've been drinking the Kool-Aid...and...maybe I have. Truth be known I've been having to study for an upcoming LEED's exam (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), maybe this is what's brain washing me, lol...At any rate, geting away from foriegn oil and depnding on other means is a big deal and it requires a huge amount of obligation, effort, and "change" in each and everyone's life living in the United States. It's real...I know this don't sound like me, but it's real.

Naw man I agree with you 100%. I also think drilling in the USA is a good idea. I don't have any idea what we have invested in oil refineries or nuclear plants since the elections but I would guess it's not much.

Good luck on the LEED's certification!
