I have not defined what I’m looking to do here but it’s along the lines of getting us off of oil and attempting a\u00a0smooth\u00a0transition to\u00a0renewables. \u00a0I think it might just be easier than all of us thought even 2 years ago. \u00a0I’ll try and put up a page that goes over this because the math is irrefutable. \u00a0Lets start here with basic\u00a0exponential\u00a0growth. \u00a0Because it starts with population which requires energy, which requires dollars. \u00a0And the US dollar is the petro dollar. \u00a0At this point we are past peak oil, AAA said recently that gas won’t go under $3 ever again<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing that I find interesting is that about 7min into this video he discusses 7% growth, which is code for doubling every ten years.\u00a0 So I just got back from Vail.\u00a0 In 1963 when Vail opened it cost $5 for a lift ticket.\u00a0 In 1973 $10, In 1983 $20, In 1993 $40, In 2003 $80.\u00a0 So It should be $160+ now in 2013\/14, however at the window it’s $139 right now.\u00a0 Pretty darn close, but growth has been around 2% for the last 5 years so that fits in nicely.<\/p>\n
