wow, talk about pessimistic.. not that I highly disagree...
Once again, glad I'll be back in the Breadbasket of Europe when this happens..
Incidentally, UA has a ridiculous amount of coal. My father (a geologyst), once said that UA has enough coal to sustain itself fro bout 200 years... the only problem being, we'd all die of the unclean air..
Anyways, if economy's gonna start collapsing, land will become key again.If money economy mfails and you have food shortages, you'll have no choice but to go back to basicks..

lol...I know. The article got me thinking enough that I bought a textbook on hydroponic food production last night on Amazon. I'm gonna start doing the calcs and pricing out the system to try and get it set up to provide for my family and a few others before any crises happen. Biodome FTW.
Cool thing about hydro is that you don't need endless tracts of land. A couple thousand square-meter greenhouse could easily provide for a small group of people. Trick is finding a place where the land is amenable to power generation, like places with streams to turn waterwheels and stuff.
