"Westexas, how does an independent energy consultant implement ELP?"

As Maximus (in the movie "Gladiator"), said, "Imagine it and will be so."

Assume:  

(1)  Your income is down by at least 50%;

(2)  Energy (and food) prices are up by at least 100%

What actions would you then take regarding your lifestyle?

My recommendation is that you try to become, or work for, a provider of essential goods and services. It sounds to me like you doing quite well.

WesTexas,

Very well put! I shall save that bit of advice, and use it on people who are just waking up.

Not yet!(but soon)
Work for an oil company.
