Re: Here's a plan: starve the beast
charliebrown,
I was trying to multi-quote your post, but I am too IT incompetent to do it the Itulip way. That, or I am not allowed.
actually i did not mean to sound condescending i applaud your actions.
I didn't think it was condescending. Actually, I was considering buying the ingredients to make my own bread and I know I could do it for less than $.25/loaf. That is if I had nothing better to do than bake bread.
Anyhow keep up the good work! Thanks for the tip on UNG!
No problem. I look for major discrepancies in things. I think I see it in UNG. I feel like the govt is "demonizing" UNG, much like they tried to force a bottom early this year by demonizing banks. The demonizing of UNG is fine with me, but they don't see the natural laws that govern economics and business. They have their heads in the clouds thinking about solar, wind and geothermal. Another possiblility is that they are buying NG as I type because they are not so dumb and realize that it is the next logical step for greenhouse gas reduction. They seem to want to skip ahead and that just won't work. Whatever the case, NG will be used for power production when it is economically viable, that is just the way it is.
wind is cost effective if you have realiable wind, but is there enough wind??
With today's technology, NO! There are other problems that I can not discuss here, but as with housing, location plays a big factor. There have been other problems not often discussed like people getting headache's who live within ? miles of a wind turbine. I don't know how far the ? is, but I think it is more than 1 mile.
EXAMPLE: Wind farm XYZ has 400 acres of land. They build 30+ wind turbines on this land to generate 130 MW's of inconsistent power.
With that ammount of land requirement for very little power production, and the fact that people and wind turbines don't mix, it is not going to be very effective.
solar cost 3x, fossil fuel costs.
I think highly of solar power, but you are right, it is too expensive right now.

Unlike water or gas, electricity cannot be stored.
The sentence above is not true, but we haven't developed a system of storing massive ammounts of electricity.
I also write options to make money
I do that as well, but it has been tougher in this volatile market. I am a very short term trader, but not a day trader.
but if you want to store a large amount of wealth you need a large amount of silver at current prices.

I don't trust Buffet. He no longer cares about money, but he does love his country and I think he is willing to try and help the government. Buffet had a large amount of silver. Does he still have it, or not?
My apologies for this not being coherent or focused.
