		<description><![CDATA[The recent unpleasantness in matters economic have led me to study finance, economics and capitalism a little bit. While it would be easy to start developing a response to the mythos of capitalism as criticism, it occurs to me that he Permaculture way is positive. Okay, we know what we don&#8217;t want- it&#8217;s everywhere. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matt Simmons is one of the key voices in bringing Peak Oil to public awareness. His 2005 book Twilight in the Desert raised a lot of (as yet) unanswered questions about Saudi Arabia&#8217;s reserves and ability to actually ramp up production beyond around 9MBD in order to act as the global &#8220;swing&#8221; producer.
