Fuel

I saw the film FUEL earlier tonight at the Capitol Theater. It was good. I recommend it. It's an important film because it clearly shows the very serious problem that we, as a humanity, face in regard to the global economy's addiction to petroleum as a source of energy. But not only that, it also provides a clear analysis of some of the potential solutions to the deeply harmful and horrible aspects of reliance on fossil fuels.

The rumor is, according to the Olympia Film Society person who did the introduction, that the film run has been extended into next week. This is an important film. Please, if you have any interest at all, make an effort to see it.

Here's the trailer:

Economics: Growth v. Steady State

The world today is suffering under the weight of humanity. Yes, human society has brought many wonderful creations into being, and there is much to praise. But —the planet is suffering. Large segments of humanity are suffering. Ecosystems are suffering. Some human activities, and human over-population are putting massive stress on economic and biological systems (a.k.a. ecosystems [simple def.: interwoven webs of life]).

Considering all of the damages and harm, is a growth-based economic model appropriate for this day and age?

Would a steady-state economic model be more appropriate?

Is is possible that there might be something in between the two that might work for everyone? For example, the concept of "benign growth" - to differ from the current model, which is, from my perspective, malignant and harmful. Is it possible to have growth without necessarily causing harm?

Where to Find $900 Billion from the Wall Street Speculators

Executive Summary

  • Don’t finance the bailout with more debt
  • Make Wall Street speculators pay now
  • Raise $900 billion in new revenue
  • Stimulate Main Street and the real economy
As Congress debates the particulars of the inevitable bailout, one key question has gone largely unexplored: Who will pay for this mess?

Lawmakers in Congress appear to have assumed that the federal government will simply borrow more money to foot the bill for the bailout. The national debt ceiling will rise to a whopping $11.3 trillion, up from $8 trillion a year ago.

But this rush to borrowing merely shifts the bailout burden onto the backs of future taxpayers. Congress needs to change course — and develop a “pay as we go” plan that makes Wall Street pay. The lion’s share of bailout funding should come from the high-finance gamblers and the wealthy CEOs who have so profited from our casino economy.

Funding the Bailout: Basic Principles

  • Wall Street and speculators should pay now for the mess they created.
