| #7 I thought Iceland was going to be the OPEC of hydrogen. |

| #6 Might also keep in mind that this is an "Al Guardian" article, with the usual built-in biases. I've got a young friend in Iceland - she was an exchange student here in Colorado Springs. The last word I heard from her was that the country was ready to go back to its roots - fishing, sheep, wool, and other indigenous products. Most of her friends have dumped their more expensive cars for high-mileage, low-cost imports, they've given up their iPods for simple cell phone service, and they're "cleaning out the house". Iceland will do as it's always done - survive. It might get rough, but the people who live there have been there before. |

| #5 Keep in mind this is the same Iceland that was quite unhappy when we announced the winddown of our military presence there, despite their bitching about said presence in the past. They got to keep the facilities. I'm less than impressed at how hard things are for them now. |

| #3 Nothing wrong with borrowing money. Using it to buy shiny unnecessary luxury crap that wears out, not so good. We've been doing that for a lot longer on a level the Icelanders can't even imagine. Get ready to appreciate a good pair of shoes... |
