When will electricity be too much? When would you shut off your running water?


I don't know if I'd ever stop running my water if I had a choice but I could find a way to generate enough electricity to power my home if I absolutely had to I'd make a modified version of a hand crank generator and I'd put bicycle petals on it.

I'm graduating from college soon and really stepping out into the real world for the first time so I don't really know my spending limit for gasoline yet as my bills have been paid primarily by my parents. This is obviously going to stop soon. Just trying to think ahead. If anyone has any more input I'd appreciate as much as I can get.

That's because typically gas prices have been thought to go up with inflation. However, with peak oil being an unavoidable truth gas prices will eventually climb faster then the actual inflation rate and that's when I think TSHF.

I believe there will come a time very soon when people will go to work on Monday and sleep in their cars untill Friday, washing up in the employee bathroom. It may be a matter of survival for some. I personally dont own a car but I do contribute to the upkeep of one. This includes buying gas. Seniour citizens are screwed in most areas of survival these days, be it medical or buying food or gas etc. Im ready to play logans run.

Enough to sell to pay rent also? I don't know about you, but I'm pretty partial to my hot water, too.

Vespa's will not work for the morbidly obese.
It would be a case of strapping the motorbike on as opposed to sitting on it.
mind you 20mpg out of a vespa would be interesting to see.

Never, everything you touch is effected by gas, that is why
this situation IMO can become a crime against humanity.
If this were oxygen (god forbid we ever have to share a space
ship with a company or business people) we would be killing
by now, there is a point where enough is enough, just like
the Boston Tea Party. I am at a point where I think America
should nationalize fuel production expand production and keep it
here. There are billions of ways to make money, organic ketchup
and maxipads that look like hand bags, I think there should be a
few things that should be taken out of the realm of profit.

Fuel and Health insurance, I don't care, you can start selling organs
to make up for the sadness conservatives will feel for having cheaper gas.

Since I have to go to work, I will have to pay for gas no matter what the price. This is how we are trapped! I may not be able to pay insurance, utilities, cable, cell phones, but I will have to buy gas and groceries no matter what.

We are screwed, because the oil companies realize this fact.

Since you are begging for a number, I currently pay $50 per week, but I make $900 per week, so I guess if prices get to about $20 per gallon it will no longer be worthwhile to drive to work.

Thanks for the number. $20 feel pretty far off right now. Let's hope it stays that way.
