Welcome, TOD friends & refugees!

Hello there, friends.

I want to say first of all that  I have been inspired to begin blogging by the experience of participating as a member and poster of comments at TOD, which is going inactive within the next few days.

The authors, staff, and members all will continue to live on in my heart, like friends who have  moved away, to be seen and heard from only at long intervals, if at all.

But the separation need not be final.  A good number of us have blogs, and  hopefully we will be able to come together again, someplace,  achieve again the critical mass of intelligent, courteous, and well-informed members that made TOD the ultimate news and energy site.  

If things work out here at this blog, a number of us old TOD hands will enjoy some thought-provoking and entertaining  articles.

If anyone wants to have some of his original work published here, he is welcome.

I plan to write and post something relevant  to the same stuff we talked about at TOD about once a week,  with  some emphasis given to selecting topics in the news.

With a little luck, the old TOD Campfire feature will be reborn here in a small way. I'm open to suggestions as to what I should call it.

Unless something else grabs my attention, I will post a nontechnical  overview of the EV and hybrid auto markets sometime this week;  my personal opinions as to where these markets are headed, and what this all means to us collectively.

Comments will be enabled.

Welcome!

    1. They silenced me OLDFARMERMAC because they had the chance to when I said I would no longer post unless invited back. They , YOU, ME, nobody can - you want to know why - IT IS THE TRUTH. Even more important these flat earthers say (NOT ME YET ON THIS) but by acknowledging we live on a flat plane you are supposed to then only be able to explain it with god. I have been the RUDEST athiest since about 3 days after my mom dragged me to church. I am really leaning more torwards a fricking GOD existing now. NOT in a MILLION years did I ever think I would utter those words and yet here I am. Yes, by the way I am typing and thinking frenetically because a CORE belief of mine has been SHATTERED!!!!!!!

      Open your mind and stop trying so hard to disagree to what your senses and intuition are TRYING to tell you- I know what you are actually thinking and that is this- NOBODY has put up an argument on peakoilbarrel that has refuted what he said. How is that??????????????

      Now imagine that I did not find your blog and write you here, it is very likely you would have accepted your own beliefs possibly, forgotten all about my insanity and moved on with your life and then RONS blog and all the science religionsts would win while never even having proved me wrong. WOW!

      VERY Disingenuous of RON to boot me and NOT tell anyone, looks like he he knows he cannot win MY argument.

      Last thing for NOW XTRA CREDIT?

      Satellites

      Do Satellites never need repair? Who does the work?

      How do satellites get their static electricity build up removed and endure the insane temperature fluctuations?

      How do satellites reorient themselves with never ending magic recharging jet fuel?

      Last I poted my responses to oldfarmermacs blog in the WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2013 THREAD now go prove me wrong PLEASE, I want BACK in the ball earth club!

  6. Hi OldFarmerMac,

    I am another TOD refugee and will be reading your blog and commenting if I have something to add.

    I have been very happy to see your comments at TOD of late and I was very disappointed that you had stopped commenting at TOD a few years back. Your knowledge is broad and your insights were quite illuminating IMO.
