Opportunity Knocks

Posted July 01, 2008 8:50 AM

The economy and current increases in energy costs are clearly having an impact on all industries. Although the current situation is clearly a bane for organizations, there are notable opportunities evolving as a result of the current economy. How has your organization responded to the macro economy? Have changes been made? Has your organization benefited from changes created by the economy and shifting consumer demand?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Chemical Manufacturing, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Chemical Manufacturing today.

This is a study endorsed by the 'Dutch' government. I think they are on to something. So PUT ON YOUR HAPPY FACE and read page 11, 15, 19, 25, 29 ...

After reading this study, print it out and file it away because we may need to heat our houses in a decade or so (an exaggerated example). I can see the presidential campaign slogan's now ("VOTE for_______ and I will set up a rationing system before the end of my first term".)

I hope that I am wrong, and was just another nut like all the Y2K people were. We'll know soon enough.

Now back to the basement where I can eat canned spam through a gas mask without being bothered.
