The country of Hungary has become the first nation to convert its worthless fiat currency into fuel briquettes to supply it's low-income citizens with heat.
If the US dollar ever becomes this devalued we'll be very glad indeed that we have a root cellar.
In a more progressive energy conservation initiative, Denmark has set the year 2020 as the target for its most dramtic plan yet: 50% wind energy.
The Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Building, Martin Lidegaard, says is “the broadest, the greenest, and the most long-term energy agreement that has ever been reached in Denmark.”
