Lying is the new Normal

- James Howard Kunstler -

Trying to respond to articles by this gloom and doomer is like a self imposed task of cleaning the Agean Stables -- and I no Hercules.

Nonetheless I proceed with mask, gloves, disinfectant. Back to nature we must go, Kunstler chirps, to a world made by hand. Oil is no good because we've depleted the supply (overlooking the uptapped resources of Alaska, the Coastal United States, the Gulf of Mexico); Coal is no good (it smells and irritates nasal passages); natural gas is a no go (the gas companies are crooks). Nuclear energy? Ah, no: in a previous article he mused that the Japanese should return to the world of the Samaurai.

Apparently Kunstler imagines that going back to his "world made by hand" is the solution. What would be the energy source? Not oil, not coal, not natual gas, not solar, not nuclear -- which only leaves wood to burn. And if anything is depletable it's the forests of the world. Perhaps he's thinking of the noble Indian living idyllicly in teepees and burning buffalo chips? Ah, I can smell it now!

This Moses would lead us back to the natural world only to present us with tablets (written by himself of course) of what we could or could not do -- by hand.
