On Sunday afternoon, June 15, the Doomstead Diner hosted a video discussion of the prospects for China. In addition to Doomstead‘s RE and Monsta (or whatever their real names are), the discussion included me, Tom Lewis, of The Daily Impact and Ugo Bardi of the University of Florence, Italy and the blog Cassandra Legacy. Or whatever our real names are. Running time is just over an hour — an hour you will never get back.

The best way to move oil is by boat. That’s why the U.S. Navy exists. To secure sea lanes. Oil is peaking and natural gas is up next. The best pay to move gas is by pipeline. Securing land routes for natural gas pipes is the future conflict trend, to wit Syria.
