I will be spending some time over the next few weeks writing an essay inspired by Gert’s masterpiece based around Aristotle’s Four Causes, the building and sustainability as reality. I will be combining the essay with some reading I have to do with respect to a Socratic Dialectic I am having with a correspondent at the Golem XIV blog, Hawkeye AKA The Forensic Statistician.

Hi Roger
There are some very practical reasons why oil has held sway as a dominant energy source. It is a highly compact and dense storage medium (not just a source of energy):

Even if we could liberate a bounty of “free” energy, there are consequences and limits to what we can exploit:

None of this undermines your valid point about Capitalism requiring monopoly access to energy inputs though. And they are certainly very good at that !! But the monopolisation doesn’t prove that there is a better / bountiful alternative.
In olden times, it was sunlight that mainly provided energy, mostly in the forms of agriculture and working animals. Hence the wars at that time were over monopolisation of land (e.g. empire expansion). Monopolisation has always exploited abundance, not suppressed it.
What we should work towards is the democratisation of energy resources (regardless of any limitations, but especially accepting that there probably are real limits to what is available), and the equitable distribution of it.

Hi Hawkeye,
I’m still not buying the

Line.

Last line of this blog I did on this question. Having seen the oil Claim her previously,
´´The standard line is that it is portable and relatively cheap to extract , when one starts off down that road incredulity is but a few steps around the corner.”

Hello Hawkeye, Nice to be back here and also seeing Stevie Finn COmmenting as well.

After a long slumber, Hawkeye has re-awoken! Partly as a consequence of the latest crisis, and partly because I have a bit more spare time on my hands these days (notwithstanding the new home schooling duties!).

Before Africa becomes overwhelmed, it seems that the US is the next epicentre of the disease. More details to follow soon, but initial signs are that lockdowns in Europe may be working to contain the spread of the virus:

Hello johnm33,

I’m beginning to think maybe you are right about Africa. It would be wonderful if Africa didn’t get hammered by this one. As you say they have quite enough to contend with already.

As for the USA, I agree there too. Once the virus gets into the tent cities, the drug dependant and all those who have little or no health cover it will get ugly and shocking. All I can hope is that it might just be ugly enough to make American’s start to be honest with themselves about what they have allowed to happen to their country.

Hello John in Mtl,

Yes that has to be one of the most revolting aspects of this whole tragedy! When I read it I could hardly believe the depths of moral depravity it revealed.

Thanks for the link.

Saw this yesterday and wouldn’t be at all surprised if it were true… finance is just so corrupt and all-powerful; people only think of personal gain to the detriment of everybody and everything else…

https://www.mintpressnews.com/wall-street-behind-delay-declaring-coronavirus-outbreak-pandemic-bonds/265264/

A little known specialized bond created in 2017 by the World Bank may hold the answer as to why U.S. and global health authorities have declined to label the global spread of the novel coronavirus a “pandemic.” Those bonds, now often referred to as “pandemic bonds,” were ostensibly intended to transfer the risk of potential pandemics in low-income nations to financial markets.
…

Notably, WHO determines if a pandemic meets the criteria that would see investors’ money be funneled into PEF as opposed to their own pockets, which would take place if no pandemic is declared between now and when the bonds are set to mature this upcoming July.
