The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler is an eye-opening look at the unprecedented challenges we face in the years ahead, as oil runs out and the global systems built on it are forced to change radically.

I swear - some of you you should check it out. It's like a science fiction comic book from the 1950's except it is not a comic book and it's not fiction.

It's already too late

Glad I won't be around for most of it.

Sounds like some good Fear Porn.

Don't worry about running out of petroleum.  Earth is a natural petroleum factory.
Oil cartel wants you to believe that Oil is rare,  and comes from Dinosaur bones.
Actually,  there's plenty to go around,  for longer than Hu-persons will be around.

I'm still amazed that otherwise intelligent people speak of 'Fossil Fuels' crying   It's sort of liek hearing Alabama preachers saying Adam & Eve rode around on Dinosaurs.
