Another Jeff Rubin quote to consider…
A well-known economist and author says the B.C. government is looking in the “rear-view mirror” by spending vast sums of money to become a gateway for more trade with Asia.In an interview in a downtown Vancouver food court, Jeff Rubin, a former chief economist with CIBC World Markets, told the Georgia Straight that in the coming years, “triple-digit” oil prices will make it far more expensive to ship goods here from Asia.
“Trade is going to become more and more regional than transoceanic,” he predicted.

The press Jeff is getting from the recent release of his book is excellent – and I’d imagine that the reporters are actually reading it and learning about Peak Oil!
