A Crise do Petróleo

Assustador.
Vivemos, de facto, "tempos interessantes".
(Plutão em Capricórnio e, em 2010, Urano em Carneiro numa quadratura a Plutão.)



There is a way out. But it requires immediate action of the kind that can only work in a state of war emergency. A war must be declared on inefficiency of operations where energy is concerned here in our country. Frivolous things must be removed from budgets. Pay cuts from the President to the janitor. Funds created to aid the unemployed. Incentives to use solar energy would be useful. Instruction on how to grow food at home is useful to know, as well. Curfews and enforced blackouts are needed. Driving cars is by permission only, not arbitrary. And other ideas, probably too draconian to mention, come to mind. In short, no more thinking things will get better because they will not. The shortage of fossil fuel is real and, although it is probably too late, new drilling in Alaska and off the coastlines would help, not hurt, the situation. This is what the astrology suggests, this analyst can only fill in the gaps.

Lastly, the perpetrators, lenders and borrowers and those who created the bad paper or abused the system, of the subprime fraud must be brought to justice.

No one wants millions freezing or starving to death or dying of thirst. The fuel that remains must last much longer than it normally would to maintain a functional society. If my suggestions are taken seriously, this will occur. But Congress and governments must act now. The joy ride is over. Otherwise, things will be more miserable than even I can imagine. A stitch in time, saves nine.
