Reading and more..
I am reading a new book. “The End of Oil” by Paul Roberts. So far it is a great book about the energy economy and the implications it has on the environment. Some of the facts that are presented in it are quite scary. When I read that by 2035 the oil demand will be 140 million barrels a day, which means that oil companies and oil sates will need to discover, produce, refine, and bring to market 140 million new barrels of oil every twenty-four hours, day after day, year after year, without fail my jaw dropped. Considering these numbers were based on current growth rates for the energy market (which means they are very conservative) we could have some huge problems real quickly.
I came into possession of a Wii Fit early this week. It is surprisingly cool. I set up a goal to gain 10lbs in a month. We shall see.
