This entry became <a href="http://crazyeddiethemotie.blogspot.com/2014/04/student-worksheets-for-second-and-third.html" rel="nofollow">the 13th most read entry of the third year of the blog</a> with 321 page views as of March 20, 2014. Over the next year, it continued to add page views, reaching 836 by March 20, 2015. It also received eight comments during that time, placing it in a three-way tie for <a href="http://crazyeddiethemotie.blogspot.com/2015/03/comments-and-likes-for-fourth-year-of.html" rel="nofollow">most commented on entry during the fourth year of the blog</a>. It finally <a href="http://crazyeddiethemotie.blogspot.com/2015/05/monthly-meta-for-april-2015-record-page.html" rel="nofollow">broke into the all-time top ten during April 2015</a> with 741 total page views according to the default counter. It has since fallen out of the top ten, being replaced by <a href="http://crazyeddiethemotie.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-conversation-with-archdruid-about.html" rel="nofollow">A conversation with The Archdruid about Objectivism, Satanism, and the GOP</a>, which had fallen out and managed to climb back in. <i>Sic transit gloria</i>.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-69902197278134292522015-07-21T22:59:38.830-04:002015-07-21T22:59:38.830-04:00I've just answered all four of the questions I...I've just answered all four of the questions I mentioned above in <a href="http://crazyeddiethemotie.blogspot.com/2015/07/we-eat-lot-of-oil.html" rel="nofollow">"We eat a lot of oil"</a>. The entry comes well-illustrated with updates and corrections to the information in the movie.<br /><br />The next updates will probably be more explicit answers to 21 and 22, which I quoted above, and a commentary on how fracking, tar sands, and deep sea drilling have affected the fossil fuel picture since the movie came out 11 years ago. My students this semester were having trouble with the former and have been asking about the latter. I'll see if I can get those done before I show the movie again in November.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-68530897196182251502015-04-14T10:01:13.296-04:002015-04-14T10:01:13.296-04:00Here's another entry.

Kunstler has latched onto the financial system as the weaker link and he and Greer think that lower oil prices will cause the investors in fracking to lose their shirts. That might just bleed into the wider markets, prompting a meltdown just like the bursting of the housing bubble did in 2008. I think it won't work exactly like that. I think that a slowdown in fracking will lead to a rise in oil prices from $75/barrel to $115/barrel. That's a more than 50% increase in one year, which is enough to send the U.S. economy into recession. It's worked every time since 1973.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-1315262415740919912014-11-14T14:14:03.782-05:002014-11-14T14:14:03.782-05:00 Twitchy in that the Peak Oil Deadline keeps getti...
