    I’m so disappointed you didn’t talk about transgender bathroom-use…NOT!

    My thanks to Steve and Mr. Kunstler for the fine discussion. I appreciate Steve’s ‘it’s gonna happen anyway’ responses to the lures of prediction making.

    RENEWABLE ENERGY SURVEY UPDATE

    The Renewable Energy Survey now has 120 respondents in the pre-release week. Most of these respondents come from Cassandra’s Legacy, the Doomstead Diner, Reddit Subs and Our Finite World.

    We will be doing the Official Release of the Survey to the general blog community tomorrow, Sunday May 29th on the Doomstead Diner. The release article contains preliminary demographic information on the respondents, but not any of the data so far collected on the substantive questions of the survey, so as not to skew the data from subsequent respondents. I also included my rationale for not including Nuclear Energy in the matrix of possible renewable options, since there were several questions about this in the text fields.

    Currently, there are a sufficient number of respondents for a 95% Confidence Index for the estimated population size we are surveying which is quite good, but we would like to get as large a sample size as possible so that we can break down survey results by various demographic groups in the analysis.

    The Survey itself will remain open at least through next week, so forward on the link to anyone you think might be interested in contributing opinions to the survey.

      I have a feeling Wall Street will be more than happy to provide dollar loans for the Saudis, knowing they can repay either with dollars or petroleum.

      Hard to see how bankers would repossess if the Saudis stiff them (the bankers). Everything works as long as the players are relatively honest but all bets are off if there are … ‘uncertainties’. A coup in Riyadh would leave Saudi bonds twisting in the wind.

      Also notice the Kurds have jumped off their long-delayed offensive against the Islamic State @ the Syria-Turkish border. More on this to come …

    Ken,
    When I see things like that, I am convinced that the “people that run things” in this world are becoming more unhinged and divorced from reality by the day. They seem to need wilder and wilder techno-fantasies to counter the world collapsing around them.

    Kunstler’s website is down but the interview can be downloaded to Overcast I think. You should do more podcasting, Steve. What about speaking with KMO at the C-Realm.

    Well he evolves in interesting ways. But he is a really great interviewer and he listens to what his guests say and asks good follow up questions. I wonder how he will like a small town in Vermont over the long term.
    OK off to the next one…
