No, my analysis does not require or count on a failure in the production of fertilizer from petroleum. <br /><br />Your right, natural gas, not oil, is used for nitrogen fertilizer to increase food production. Petroleum products are also used as a feedstock for fertilizers and other farm petrochemicals (e.g., pesticides), Crash_Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985815560035214946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615802111925975217.post-50272060753370776012013-08-03T14:18:47.638-07:002013-08-03T14:18:47.638-07:00Hi, thank you for your excellent analysis.

Nitrogen being the most critical element for plant growth, the fixing from the atmosphere through the Haber-Bosch process is the main factor behind population explosion. Does your analysis count with this fact?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615802111925975217.post-52689216846222816932013-07-10T20:29:57.160-07:002013-07-10T20:29:57.160-07:00Hi Da Shui

A few years ago, I did a country-by-country analysis of the MENA countries (search for "Survey of Oil Exports") and back then you could get a pretty good idea of where this was going for Egypt, Bahrain, Syria and Yemen and others. Plus the populations of most of the MENA countries are still growing at a high rate. <br />This puts net Crash_Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985815560035214946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615802111925975217.post-61340082201076163082013-07-08T19:37:44.723-07:002013-07-08T19:37:44.723-07:00Mr. Crash think about this: Obviously egypt is in ...Mr. Crash think about this: Obviously egypt is in peak oil collapse, all of the neighboring countries are gonna have to give Egypt oil free in order to keep the me from going up in flames.
