Stages of the Power Down

What is happening now and in the future will be links in a chain of foreseeable events. I think it is important to touch on this subject now because we are past some of the events; in the opening stages of others; future events are likely to play out.

  • Energy costs go up driving the price of everything from food and other commodities like gold up.
  • Financial markets go into a collapse.
  • Die off due to starvation.
  • Several countries go into a worldwide recession.
  • Increased environmental damage as energy scarcity becomes apparent.
  • Smaller governments go into decline and collapse.
  • Proxy resource wars break out in localized theaters.
  • Direct conflict between major world governments occurs.
  • Major world governments collapse.
  • The Global Power Down occurs.
  • Civilization looses a layer of complexity. (Meaning things like the Internet are gone.)

I am touching on these subjects for the present time. I do not have a time line because events past a certain date are harder to predict. Everything past the financial markets collapsing is probable to occur. There will be a lot more information on each of these points soon.
