Living Two Lives
by Chris Martenson

You know that something is very wrong.

Even if you ascribe to the recovery meme and ingest the current narrative that the economy is about to take off and that stocks and houses will once again make us all rich, you know deep down that the story of perpetual exponential growth has an ending.

Maybe not immediately, but someday, certainly, the doctrine of endless growth will have to end. And you know that in all likelihood it won't end on human terms, in a manner of our careful choosing, but on some other terms set by exhausted ecosystems and depleted resources interacting with our highly complex economic and financial systems.

What to Look For in Solar Generators
by Chaz Peling

Solar generators capture the sun’s energy via solar panels, store that energy in a battery bank, and release it through an inverter to be used for standard AC power. That is the standard definition of a solar generator.

Based on this definition, the key elements to look for in solar generators are:

  • Battery storage capacity
  • Solar PV input
  • Inverter rating
  • Component quality
  • Portability
  • Balanced system design

In this article, we will explore these key elements and hopefully give you a better understanding of each element, how is fits into the overall performance of your system, and what to watch out for in the plethora of systems and choices out in the solar generator market these days.

An interesting read to get you thinking about your food storage, what you have, and what you need to replace. Have you evaluated your current dietary needs lately and what your loved ones are eating?  Does your food storage plan fit with your healthy living plan?  Any new allergies or food intolerances that need to be considered?  The last thing you want in a stressful situation or emergency is to find that your prep food will have a more negative impact than positive one.

The Dead Weight of Sluggish Global Growth
by Gregor Macdonald

Global Slowdown

The U.S. economy weakened appreciably in the first quarter of 2013. But what if this weakness persists into the second quarter just completed, and worsens still in the second half of this year? Q1 GDP, as reported on June 26th, was revised lower to just 1.8%. And various indications suggest that Q2 could come in slightly lower still, at 1.6%. Might the U.S. economy be guiding to a long-term GDP of 1.5%? That’s the rate identified by such observers as Jeremy Grantham – the rate at which we combine aging demographics, lower fertility rates, high resource costs, and the burdensome legacy of debt. Well, after a four-year reflationary rally in just about everything, and now with an interest-rate shock, the second half of 2013 appears to have more downside rather than upside risk. Have global stock markets started to discount this possibility?

Executive Summary The world's ongoing net energy recession will continue to drag GDP downwards unless a technology miracle occurs (unlikely). Reversing our net energy decline will be key to breaking out of this stagnation. Solar capacity build-out is an important growing trend, as it offers "free" streams of future energy after its up-front costs. Solar…
