Perhaps it is a crackpot. Time will tell. I think you're correct that short term, prices will rise quite a bit (I personally think they will go higher, even by the end of the year). And even if the theory I referred to in the link, proposed by physicist Thomas Gold in The Deep Hot Biosphere, turns out to be correct, it will take decades for oil drilling technology to advance to the point where it can take advantage of renewable hydrocarbons.
SUVs are an insanity? Try taking my wife's away from her. That would be insane.:-)

I am by no means a wine connoisseur, but I am impressed by the value of Charles Shaw wines. I've paid much more for much less. If your clients buy you a case of the stuff, I guess you did okay!
Space exploration is indeed worthy, but is it worth funding via theft? As big a fan as I am of astronomy and as much as I care about such research, I cannot justify robbing other people via taxation to pay for it.
Besides, who determines what's a reasonable level of funding? You? The guy you sent to Washington to represent you? Some NASA bureaucrat? More likely it was some pork-barrel trading, and in the political process, untenable projects like the ISS get funded, which squeezes the relatively cost-effective stuff out of the budget.
Will any space research be done in the absence of government funding? You bet there will. Enough people are interested in this stuff to at least pay for piggybacking some cool cameras on the next communications satellite.
Most financial institutions could defeat Inuit's extortionist tactics by 1) going with OFX, as a previous poster said in reply, or 2) putting some financial and/or programming resources into porting GNUCash to Windows.
The United States Military provides health-care to its members. So, if they were providing C-legs and the like, then it wouldn't affect any civilian's insurance rates because they are wholly seperate entities.
Er, who do you think pays for government-granted insurance, salaries, buidlings, weapons, etc.? A government does not produce anything: for it to grant benefits, it must steal from the productive first.

Considering he just posted the same comment to TFA, I's say there's a good chance he's the author. As for the +5, well...
You forgot Mr. I Can Buy You Out!
Yeah. Iroquois, IIRC.

Has Glenn Branca heard of this? Now he can compose nanotonal symphonies for electric guitar.
Now I can sound like James Earl Jones all the time!
I'm a drunken redneck builder, you insensitive clod!
...and get 'em off this planet!
"It's true...Melvin's date's got twelve tits!"
Mmmmmmmmmmaybe. I'll never tell.
That's enough for armagetron. Look, no hands!
Nobody knows you're an octopus.
In Soviet Russia, the people hack you!

Sounds like WREK, 91.1 FM, Atlanta! On automation, anyway...

Zero cost? PROFIT?!? You people are bananas. Apparently, your government's withholding scam works!
Perhaps someone should work on driving robots, since that seems to be everyone's great worry here.
I dunno. My experience with asteroids is that the smaller the chunks, the faster they travel. Same with the flying saucers.
