sifferkoll | This report shows an undeniable COP of 3,2-3.6 over a 32 day period and
substantial isostope changes in nickel and lithium. Anyway here it is
for those interested.
So, what does this mean?
It means that everything will change. It may take some time, but it
means that most things will get significantly cheaper, since energy is
such an important part in how we keep warm (and cold), what we eat and
how we cook it, how me move about (fuels), and all other things we
consume, etc. etc.
I would go so far to say that energy is as close we get to a ”gold
standard” for our storage of value (ie. the petrodollar). Everything
depends on it.
So what will happen when we suddenly gets five times as much energy per petrodollar?
Of course we will consume more energy,but in everything we consume
there will be a HR part, so we will also consume more human resources
(ie. valuable knowledge), which of course will increase in value. The
economic boom will be unparallelled. All food and water scarcities
around the globe could be solved if only the local rulers allow it
(unfortunately they will not) and the environmental challanges can be
solved as well since so much of it comes from air pollution, etc.
The amount of petrodollars around will be the same, so in a classical
sense there will be neither deflation or inflation. However the
deflation of price in all commodities and products with a high energy
content will be huge, but balanced by a equally huge inflation in the
new scarcities with low energy content; like human resources, time in
general, attractive real estate and other status symbols. Generated
profits will be invested in new products like never before. And debts
could be paid off.
What about the financial system then?
Since the investment climate will change due to possible high
returns, the price of money will go up, which in turn will make it a
better investment to pay off debts. There will be some kind of balance,
but basically it means that the financial debt crises in EU, US and
Japan can be solved due to lower costs, higher taxes and lower
unemployment in general.
So are there any losers?
Of course, oil stocks will be valued at cash instead of possible
future profits. So the owners of these assets will loose money. Mainly
this means savings and pensions of taxpayers; fortunately the same ones
that in general will see an even bigger upside. some people and
organisations will loose power, like the ”green” politicians that make a
living out of environmental doomesday scenarios, and maybe most
troubling, some governments that are dependent on exporting oil and gas
for spendings. I guess Russia beeing the most scary one. Fist tap Dale.
