[olug] peak oil & stuff

[Jay Woods]

Sure, let's get together and talk.

I've been a peak oil person for a long time. That is why computers and 
computer control are so interesting. An acre around the house and five acres 
near by have been purchased for resource control and placed under 
permaculture. It gives plenty of wood and food (and quiet beauty) and dirt 
and air and water. Since I have a chemical background, the automated 
conversion of chipped wood to liquid fuel and of soil to aluminum (and other 
metals) via carbochlorination and electrolysis is being pushed to give back 
to the future. The Open Access movement for scientific and engineering papers 
is being used to collect the background info needed to support the work.

The time will arrive this year to get an electric vehicle to get back and 
forth from work now that the gasoline is running out. Hopefully, Coffeyville 
will get back on line and the shortage will only be temporary, this time. The 
100 watts of solar cells currently being used will power the router, hubs, 
and cable modem in emergencies. Another 300 watts will be picked up to keep 
the UPS charged for the main computer.
