We will have to face the fact that we will have to live with less energy and that means less driving, flying.
I see resource wars and the key players are already squaring up.
I think I need to get out more ;-)

The money is only a product of the other things, so we print that, the energy can be nuclear for a very long time, and the raw materials can come 80% from what we already use, by recycling. Much of what we receive from China already is made from our recycled waste.
I do agree that we wil have to do less driving, flying etc, if only because we are so wasteful in the way we so unnecessarily do it at present.
And I agree on resource wars if the population continues to grow, water being the next one looming.
But please don't get out more Andy, remember we have to do
less travelling!
