This article shows the growing effects of Peak Oil on our communities. It shows how the rising cost of transportation is affecting people, and how the properties closest to the inner cities are experiencing lower foreclosure rates:
ReplyDelete"In recent years we have seen foreclosures increasing faster in outer suburbs than in central cities. When gas prices peaked in 2008, families in many regions saw their transportation costs soar by $3000 per year or more. When communities have few transportation options and require driving long distances for basic necessities, already stressed household budgets are very vulnerable to spikes in gas prices and rising transportation costs," said Scott Bernstein, president and founder of CNT.

Obama's Energy speech talks about using biomass fuel for Air Force... I know there is a chorus of flippant rejections to the feasibility of alternatives, but I really would like to hear a coherent argument against this one in particular.

For MICHAEL SLOAN -- I made a movie about it. I wrote a short, simple, easy-to-understand book about it which has a whole chapter on how to evaulate alternative energies. The book contains eight simple tests that any alternative energy must pass. It requires nothing more than high school arithmetic to understand. If you won't read the book or watch the movie we can't help you. I cannot rewrite answers over and over again on a blackboard for people who won't do any work themselves. So you can claim that no one will answer you and feel comforted. We could care less. The people who are going to survive collapse will do so only by doing a little work for themselves. Buy the book "Confronting Collapse" and read it. It's short. It's clear. Then you might start asking the right questions... the ones that will help you and your family survive.
