End of world....LOL. Things will be rough for a bit, but not the end. This peace of real-estate is too valuable. Not to worry. The shift is more likely to happen 2014-2016 time period. 2012 is just the beginning of a new age, not the end of the planet. It's happened before. I'm be more worried about the solar maximum in 2012. We might lose the grid for many months or even more than a year.
