Past, present, future

Capitalism is dependent on energy, can’t have one without the other. BUT once it takes one barrel of oil to get one barrel of oil it’s over. We’re drilling 5 miles deep in the Gulf of Mexico and fouling the west for a reason the survival of this system. YET sooner or later it will take one barrel to get one barrel. Then what? There is NO magic bullet. 100 years ago we had no oil and horses. 100 years from now we will have no oil or horses. Part of the future will be found in the past before oil, unfortunately getting there will be much tougher then getting here. We may have to carry the load on our backs.
