Yellow stone is going to be detonated on June 10, 2010. Oh dear a national disaster. My what shall we do? Uncle Sam will help us, right? Never let a good commotion go unused... Muhahahah!
@giantkiller
Where did you learn this?  I couldn't GOOGLize anything intelligent regarding this statement.
BTW:
I significant earthquake hit that part of the country Thurs., the 15th, with a epicenter about 70 miles NE of Salt Lake City.
Is this important?

Additional aside:
I notice since this thread was started, the percentage of people voting on the poll has remained about 49-53% for the economy worsening in the future.  Consistently.

I REALLY can see an economic diasater coming...

...IF the Icelandic volcano(Ejylafjallajokull = ay-yah-FYAH'-plah-yer-kul-duhl) continues erupting...

Have a look at these:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100420/ap_on_bi_ge/eu_world_without_planes

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/04/19/threat-new-larger-icelandic-eruption-looms/


And that's not all:
If Katla Volcano, near the one above, also erupts, that'll be 5-10 times the ash in the air.  No jet/turboprop flights for up to a year or two?

None of the world's financial/political/industrial economies can stand that.  There will probably be a collapse if this eruption continues.
I just don't know when, though.
Not even the scientists know, either.

I got my first batch of solar (25 plus)cells.I have about 55 more solar cells coming.I got two batches at 99cents each plus S&H.Two more batches at $7.50 each plus S&H.A total of 90 solar cells.There is a lot of dust in my first batch of solar cells.I asked the shipper to use toilet paper between cells.It could reduce breakage.Three more batches are on their way to me.

That reminds me:  a 2.0 quake hit offshore of southern Calif. a few days ago.  These are coming closer and closer.

Also, that volcano in Iceland(Eyjafjallajokull) is unpredictablely worrying.  Katla Volcano lies 12 miles away and if it erupts:  Look out!

Even local Icelanders living near it are scared.  Planes in the Eastern Hemisphere may not fly at all for up to two years if it erupts.  That would be dire, to put it mildly.

I thought the following website might be useful to someone trying to go solar but want to buy their panels assembled already.http://sunelec.com/

Well, neither I nor the scientists knew, did we?  Katla should be erupting now, but looks like it won't, after all. 

The world lucked out on that one, but there's something else that probably won't go away:

REEDIT:
Just off the wires:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100428/ap_on_bi_ge/eu_europe_financial_crisis
(This is getting worse and worse!)

This problem won't go away until the affected eurozone gov'ts cut spending and stop borrowing.  All they're doing is putting off the inevitable collapse.  And, if they cut services, there'll be social unrest in Greece, for sure, and possibly Portugal and Spain as well.  That could drag down other eurozone countries and us after that.

What to do?

For my part, I'm buying more cans of food this month and plastic containers of water to store in my apartment.  I can still eat and drink something if the power goes out.

After that, if it happens, I'll I can do is wait.

Germany and/or the European Central Bank, for two:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/14/greek-crisis-germany-financial-markets

And this:
http://baselinescenario.com/2010/03/01/an-underfunded-program-for-greece/

This one says there's more than one source of Greece's problems:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8508136.stm

The problem has been avoided for so long, that digging themselves out of the deep pit they're in will possibly take a miracle to pass for the Greeks.

to big M,I have been buying extra cans of food too,Oatmeal and grits.Cornmeal and flour,And cooking oil.Most canned foods will last for years.Cranberry sauce will not.Only about 6 months for cranberry sauce.It will eat through a can in a year.I recently ate a couple of cans of turnip greens that I had at least 5 years with no ill effects.Still tasty.I bought lots of canned fish too.You just fill up your shelves now with 2 or 3 extra cans each time you go to the store.Or lots of oatmeal if you are just starting out with stocking up(20lbs per person per year).I have about two months of food on hand now.I live near lakes(water).Water can always be boiled.I try to buy canned goods on sale.Have lots of canned beans too.And dry beans and brown rice.triffid

@triffid
I was going to say, with respect to your last Reply, solar panels might be a guaranteed power generator, and a good one, even if it is a little expensive.

But since I live in an apartment, all I can do is electronic experimentation (on free energy, of course) when I have the free time and budget the money from local parts suppliers.

The canned food idea is great.  I'm buying 5-liter water containers as well.  Tip for city dwellers like me:  If and when the power fails, fill your bathtub(s) and bail water to your toilet.  Buy pine soap as an antiseptic to help reduce the smell.

LATER REEDIT:
@triffid
Why not try one of these solar cell trickle battery chargers?

Big o, your wrong, gold had value, us dollar notes could no longer be changed for gold
Well, that was in the Great Depression.  Yeah, you're correct in that point alone.
However, this time there's wayyyyyyyy! more money involved and people are getting really pissed about the way Big Money on Wall Street handled the whole, overall scenario for the last years of the bubble economy.

Then there the experience of American GI's in postwar Europe and Japan.  Nobody can eat a gold bar.  But cans of food and wrapped candy are actually something edible.  Soap can make the body humanly livable on the outside (skin) as long as there's enough water to wash with.

That's my main point when the economy finally implodes and collapses.


And then what about the Gulf Coast!
People there are scared to death that there'll be no money when 30-35% of the marine food sources may die off if BP doesn't move fast enough or fails in effective use of the concrete funnels they're building to gather the oil to the surface.  And the delicate Delta marshes are just as threatened.  Add this to the other problems getting worse.
