From the Wilderness' Peak Oil Blog

With the arrival of Peak Oil, the curtain has closed on Act 1 of the drama Petroleum Man. What will happen in Act 2? Chekhov said, "If there's a gun on the wall at the beginning of the play, by the end it must go off." In the world's nuclear arsenal are many guns on the wall. If life copies art, will there be an Act 3 in which the players, having learned their lesson the hard way, live sustainably? To explore these and other questions... FTW's Act 2 Blog. Read, comment, take heart! Orkin

Goat’s milk from Australia: Infant formula is being corralled from all parts of the glob

U.S. is preparing to send long-range rocket systems to Ukraine

If we explain this problem as pure evil or other labels like terrorist attack or hate crime, we feel better because it makes it seem like we’ve found the motive and solved the puzzle. But we haven’t solved anything. We’ve just explained the problem away. What this really problematic terminology does is prevent us from recognizing that mass shooters are us. 

A mother who was handcuffed outside the Texas school shooting later ran into the school and pulled her two children to safety: report

Iran seizes 2 Greek tankers in Persian Gulf as tensions rise

The Uvalde gunman's co-workers nicknamed him 'school shooter' before the attack that killed 21 people

More than 1,000 flights canceled ahead of Memorial Day weekend amid staff shortages as millions travel

Georgia voters have gone to the polls 50 times in the last 7 years, and they're caught between relishing and regretting their role as the newest battleground swing state
