Inflation vs Energy Usage

[moonus111]

Well I'm sure that the combination of these two effects is going to be awesome for the price of energy, but which one is more dominant, and at what ratio/number/point do we call it. At some point the combinaiton of these two is going to make the business case for the moon a foregone conclusion. This is due to the immense energy resources of the moon.

Commodity checks (how people vote):

Gold

Oil

(be careful there are 2 definitions of inflation, the old school one our ancestors used involving total currency, and the new one involving a bread-basket and how much people charge for goods)

If we thought like people did 100 years ago... gahh

Those commodity dashboards are cool. (Wish I'd invested in gold back in 2005!) I had the idea of something similar to show the real-time value of various NiFe NEOs in bazillions of dollars.
