ENERGY IS MORE THAN GAS OR MONEY 3

Embedded energy. The monuments of applying energy in the past. Not all energy is wasted. For all the exhaust polluting the air from burning gasoline, there is the Interstate highway system with asphalt roads and concrete overpasses. For all the diesel running barges up and down the Mississippi, there are still bridges passing overhead. For all the fuel burned to go into Earth orbit, there is Tang. And lots of global communication and observation from satellites. We even moved our embedded energy in the form of factories over to China so as to export pollution and jobs.

*

Look at Hoover dam. That one piece of embedded energy allows close to a million people to live in an inhospitable environment. The transcontinental railroads are embedded energy from calories dead Irishmen ate as well as the coal that smelt the iron. Because of that piece of energy, less energy is needed to ferry freight through an area devoid of water transport ( a rather efficient method of transportation ). Look at the embedded energy required JUST to provide cars for all Americans, which itself was nothing more than a way of wasting energy, from a time we had such surplus.

*

Just one city, of many involved in the auto industry, Detroit, has seventy THOUSAND abandoned buildings. Now that my fine feathered friends is a lot of embedded energy. The buildings do nobody any good because a good portion of automobile manufacturing is done overseas now, but keep in mind that it is cheaper in dollars and material to rebuild elsewhere than to merely repair and refurbish those buildings. That tells you two things. We HAD energy to build quality, and we no longer have that.

*

I can already hear the denial. But Jim, those Darkies are lazy and stupid and will torch everything and THAT is why we can't have nice things anymore ( as an aside, you could think of our Black problem as another factory implement energy embedded structure ). I'm no fan of Tribe Black. Not because they are a different color but because they are a foreign dangerous tribe to me. But they are NOT any different than any other tribe in that they defend their own interests. You think they are destroying their own city. No, they are destroying the White Man's property.

*

You think New Orleans isn't being rebuilt because Blacks like to live in squalor? No, don't be a dumbass. Those Blacks are no different that Southern Whites of Celtic descent, who do NOT value permanent residences because of a history of seizures and destruction by their enemies. Excess human energy goes into social capital, not property. They know their lands will be attacked and stolen and put as little effort into shelter as possible. They both have tribe instead of property. So, who is actually smarter in the long run?

*

Blacks know they will probably have to move on, as they once did from Southern farms to Northern factories. Why would they invest in or have an interest in permanent dwellings? They probably started out as herders, and moved with the rains. And need I remind you, they are not of our culture. Their reality is not ours. They simply don't value the same things. ALL humans are as lazy as they can get away with. It is a survival trait. Ascribing astute sloth to one tribe is just another way to denigrate and dehumanize the enemy ( which is ANY other tribe, of ANY skin color ).

*

Equally important to our focus here, the Whites have no interest in resettling Blacks or compelling them to accept rebuilding. The energy needed to do so is too much. If we had the energy to rebuild AND resettle, we would have used the energy. Instead, it requires less energy overall to simply abandon most of the city ( New Orleans and Detroit, among others ) and rebuild a much cheaper version in a new suburb. It requires less energy to keep all the Blacks on welfare than to offer anyone jobs.

*

Jobs have nothing to do with work ethnic or capitalism. A lot of jobs are simply welfare unto themselves. When we had the excess energy, Blacks all worked. The father was not in jail. Blacks had their own communities and there was widespread employment. Now, there is no jobs. The Blacks didn't change their culture, going from industry to sloth by choice. The jobs disappeared with our factory economy. Just as with Whites, factory workers brought home good pay that supported a local economy of mom and pop retail stores and low skilled laborers and etcetera.

*

Whites and Blacks both were paid in excess, a form of social welfare forced on to the factory owners, and both supported their communities with that. That excess energy contracted and declined and with it the jobs and then the economy. The lessened profits went to the bankers rather than any colored local economy. The embedded energy systems didn't have the continued energy to be kept operational. What is a factory but energy and ore combined to create a consumer good? The purpose is to turn energy into a profit. It wasn't dollars that ere lacking but energy.

*

Gasoline itself is a waste product of oil. It is explosive and delivers no product such as artificial fertilizer or roadways or plastic or efficient transportation fuel. Diesel is far more efficient-gasoline systems were only developed as it was a cheap waste product. Driving around offers no economic advantage or production advantage-it merely turns waste into profit. And THAT is only as cheap as it is ( which is no longer affordable ) because of the embedded energy we use to make it possible.

*

Now, ask yourself this. If driving around was ONLY possible through a surplus waste product, and per capita we have only half as much waste product as we used to, where do you see the end result of that being? Not even factoring in maintaining those crumbling embedded energy systems, JUST population and production alone shows a quadrupling of population with a mere doubling of production ( sorry, imports don't count, not when you need real products to trade for them now ).

*

That doesn't even take into account that we must drive a lot more than we used to, with the expanding suburbs pushing affordable housing out to near impossible distances. And prices are not influenced by inflation as much as the drop in net energy. I would argue that as delivered net energy has declined, so has the value of our currency ( money is only chits representing actual surplus energy to be turned into growth ), which means that housing inflation forcing you to live further away and the pay deflation making that more difficult are both indicative of declining energy. Or, as I like to call it, Peak Oil.

note: when I hear "the Amazon Effect" I'm hearing an unthinking ( okay, to be fair, perhaps just an uneducated ) acceptance of the mainstream propaganda.  Well, let's look at the current examples of The Amazon Effect, shall we?    Pittsburgh Steel laying people off.  True, I just ordered a steel girder from Amazon.  North Carolina Department Of Transportation laying off people-Amazon workers must be fixing their roads.  Nestle ice cream division.  Must be Amazon is drone delivering frozen dairy!  Disney laying folks off?  Amazon!  Oracle lay-offs?  Amazon!  The economy is imploding and Amazon is feeding on the corpse.  They didn't kill the victim to begin with.

note: Wal-Mart going full retard on its gun policies.  Do your part for the Bill Of Rights-try hard not to shop there if at all possible.  They no longer Loss Lead grocery basics, and you can get almost anything else cheaper elsewhere, if you plan ahead a little.  Here is my response to them:

"You people are really going Full Retard on your gun policies.  Look how many customers that lost for K-Mart.  As if they didn't have enough problems.  You may do as you wish, it is your company.  Run it into the ground ( I hate to break it to you but you've already lost a lot of my business through other poor decisions ).  If you think the Bill Of Rights is optional, that is your right on your property.   I can only respond by withholding even more of my business.  Which I shall now do.  I'll also pass the word on.  Enjoy Virtue Signalling all your urban liberal customers.  However many that might be.  One wonders how much you'll lose now.  I'll bet Gillette didn't think it would run into the billions."
