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.
