Trade gold for silver and buy an electric car. Power is the last thing that goes out when civilization collapses. You may not be able to buy gas, but I bet that the power will stay on.
Learn how to make bio-diesel!
Speaking of these topics, in the car this morning I realized that someone needs to make a turbo-diesel plug-in hybrid car. Turbo diesels get great gas mileage and can run off of biodiesel. The hybrid technology would extend the mileage even further, and the plug-in option could make it totally electric for short trips. Why isn’t there one of these out there yet? I’d buy one if I could 🙁
Oh, as for gold who knows. We are in uncharted waters here, folks. The country owes trillions of bucks to everyone else, we don’t make anything anymore except weapons, and we’re printing money like it’s going out of style. On the flip side, war is always good for business (at least the weapons business) and the rest of the world needs us to buy their crap. I think we’re headed for a worldwide inflationary scenario as the central banks get in a printing contest with each other. Will gold go up? Maybe but of course who’s going to buy it when everyone is broke…
