President Barack Obama

Last Friday, with little publicity, President Obama signed a national preparedness executive order that gives US government (USG) cabinet agencies the ability to exercise total control over what are essentially all the resources of the USA.

In my humble opinion, this could also be the USG’s way of telling us that it knows Peak Oil has arrived, and that the age of energy and resource scarcity has officially begun.

President Obama’s to-do list:
– Increase domestic production of oil.
– Root out fraud and manipulation in oil markets.
– End $4 billion in subsidies to oil and gas companies.
– Invest in renewable energy.
