What's next?

One of dkos's resident economist-types has written another post which makes me feel sick to my stomach. My reaction to some of his past posts over the last couple of years was to read them and then hope that he was being overly pessimistic. Unfortunately, what he wrote about has now come to pass over the last 2-3 months and I find I'm less inclined to ignore what he says no matter how uncomfortable and depressing.

Stranded Wind references another economic blog, The Automatic Earth, which has some uncomfortable reading. The principal writers are Stoneleigh and Ilargi. Stoneleigh and Illargi are alumni of The Oil Drum who spun off into their own blog when their financial and economic analysis spread into areas not directly energy-related. Stoneleigh's bio via the Wayback Machine notes that she "is an energy policy analyst and free-lance academic with a background in science, psychology and law and an abiding interest in economics." It looks like one to be added to a regular reading list if you're interested in where the economy is headed.

Add The Oil Drum to your reading list for meaningful analysis on the global energy situation. The not-to-be-missed Drumbeats feature is a great summary of energy-related news all on its own.
