Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack"

Intro

If you get you head out of there, you see that the world is not a uniform shade of brown.

But you will see something that scares the crap out of most people, from Einsteins to head-bashed stoners: "Change!"

You will see change that you can't ignore, like getting older, that you can't beg, plead or wheedle out from, like taking the garbage out, and that refuses to go away, like your friends and families when you're having a temper tantrum.

Peak Oil is not an option.

Peak Oil is not an elective.

Peak Oil is not going away. But the oil is...

It took our grandparents, our parents and ourselves a hundred and fifty years to get to this point.

Lets see what we can do over the next fifty years to wean ourselves, our children and grand children from the addiction to oil. (Notice I'm not looking forward beyond that. Our addiction to oil is not a long term problem. [It wouldn't even be a problem if it wasn't for our capacity and willingness to wage war at the drop of a "kepi", {busting everything up,} and the fact that there are "way" too many of us around right now.])

Ultimately, its about our future as a species.

Then look no further than Dan Drutz, our own assistant director of athletics, and David Freeman.

They’re here to give you all the latest news and discussion in both college and professional sports.

If you’re a sports fanatic, you won’t want to miss a second of what these two guys have to say.

So be sure to catch “Dan and Dave on Sports in the Morning.”

I just caught their show here in the studio and its "pretty darn good!".

Thesis:

We're looking at the sixth and final chapter of "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7.

This chapter, entitled "Managing the Collapse: Strategies and Recommendations", delves into everything that could/should/would be done to try to make it a softer landing

"Chasing the Clouds Away" by "Sinister Dexter" http://www.sinisterdexter.net/

Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack"

Synthesis:

This chapter, the last in the book before some end-notes, a bibliography and the index, offers some hints, clues and heuristics about surviving the inevitable collapse of the oil based energy infrastructure.

It offers them in subsections entitled:

"You, Your Home and Your Family" which examines
* Energy usage,
* Alternative Energies,
* Your Home
* Finances (with a multi-page sidebar captioned Resources for Home and Family,)

"Appropriate Technology" which gets into
* health care
* food
* transportation

"Your Commmunity" which delves into
* food
* water
* local economy
* public power
* community design
* local governance
* intentional communities (with a multi-page sidebar captioned community resources,)

"The nation" which flies over
* Alternative energies and conservation
* food systems
* financial and business systems
* population and immigration
* US foreign policy
* transportation
* activism (with a sidebar captioned resources for national policy changes,)

"The world" which takes a really wide view

and he offfers us a final word.

Conclusion:

So we've reached the end of then book but not the end of the story...

I feel that he's a bit more pessimistic than the situation really requires.

The hard part is how to manage a soft landing, one which will see the emergence of electricity generated by renewable natural sources of energy rather than by burning oil.

Next week, I'll be rebroadcasting the shows from number 1 on, until the end of December.

Outro

Go and get the book "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7.

You can even go and re-bury your head in the sand afterward.

But you should know what's going to happen and let it guide you and your decisions.
