Should be required reading
Anyone who has not had a sense that we are on the brink, teetering in fact, about to fall into some sort of abyss, then this article should clarify for you what is going on. I think it should be required reading for business and politicians alike. Sure we can argue with small details, but the link between energy and output seem difficult to argue with.
I was surprised that you give us half a century to sort it out, starting now. My gut feel is that it will all unfold much more rapidly. But then, I thought that back in 2008 and much of the world seems to be able to pretend that normalcy reigns.
An excellent article all round. My worry is: 'but my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence' (Paul Simon).
