A good many videos this week. First, wanna learn about exponential growth? Here's a short video entitled "Are Humans Smarter than Yeast?" (mentions Bob Shaw even!--basically an 8 min version of Al Bartlett's hour talk over at GPM on exponential growth) Perhaps a smidge rudimentary for this crowd, but pay special attention to the three points around 5:45 into the video.

Under the fold, a few short videos apropos of the problems we face: Bill Moyers on PBS provocatively talking big oil last night, Kunstler talking the long emergency on CBC, Jeff Rubin on CNBC talking $7 gas, VMT, light rail, and other things, and then finally Olbermann and Krugman talking both US presidential candidates' "energy policy." Include other links in the comments.

“The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust.”
