What does the future bring?

1 The first horseman of the apocalypse - peak energy - causes
- energy costs to rise sharply
- usage by cars 41%, trucks 13%, materials 10%, heat 10%, air travel 7% and other 19% shrinks
- the world gets smaller and more local due to reduced travel leading to increased costs
- car infrastructure - highways and bridges - become more difficult to maintain, justify and build
- marginal remote communities are threatened
- militaries focus on nuclear powered vessels
- farming returns to less mechanized forms leading to increased costs
- train usage will increase

- whats the solution?
- alternative fuels
- are they sufficient to replace fossil fuels?
- not even close - http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/withouthotair/c18/page_103.shtml
- cellulose to gas

- How to profit?
- which items will increase in the price the most?
- the items that have the longest to travel by truck
- the items that are the heaviest

- new cities will rise to prominence as old cities starve
- inland to avoid pirates
- close to irrigation water in warmer climates
- close to rail
- close to water / river / ocean for trade - but not too close
- relatively self sufficient - why? how?
