Perpetual motion (continued)

A lot of people here can't get it that fossil/fossil derived fuel is cheap at the moment. When this recession ends, the price will double or quadruple, all these Chinese/Indians/Brasilians are wanting cars, TVs etc. So if you have a petrol/diesel car the price of fuel will likely be 10/litre in five or six years time. The wind and sun will always be free. So I will have free fuel whilst you pay 0.6/Kwh for gas and electricity/shivering in the house and will be riding on the bus. Unless you have a well insulated house, an electric car and PV panels. The fracking gas will be exploited as quickly as possible and exported to France/Europe while we have to put upwith all the mess, traffic, excavations andpollution. The Frogs are cunningly hoarding their supply for the future. Unless the Taliban have taken over, in which case you will be riding on a donkey. I hear donkey shit makes a good fuel for cooking on if thoroughly dried. But that would be wimmins work.

Wind turbines and PV are only part of the problem

High oil prices. Because oil is traded as a comodity and the financial markets dictate the price rather than a real market.

The financial markets *are* a real market.
