Comments:
There is one economic observation that is profound and pervasive to all global physical-economic theory, metrics and activity. That is the strong positive correlation that energy use; particularly oil, has with the exponential growth in GDP, stock markets, food production, population and a host of other outcomes, over the past 150 years. That is why it is extremely important to know and understand that when this trend turns southwards its implications will have extra-ordinary effects on the nature, extent and quality of all human activity. Nothing is more important than this in so many respects.
