The American Series, #6:

That’s it, I’m a-gone live in Cuba now.

Joking, joking, joking. Miss out on the fireworks here? Bloody likely, my friend.

    Really, scary? I thought that it was rather hopeful that there is a real society that was so heavily dependent on fossil fuels but was still able to transition to a more self-sustaining community, Albeit, it happened with quite a bit of difficulty that still pervades to this day, but I can’t imagine an easy or swift transition from a high-petroleum economy based not on an immediate necessity due to a sudden lack of resources.

    Of course, if the government had any kind of foresight to see that the end of abundant oil was right around the corner, we could have made things easier and began the overhaul into sustainable energy many years ago. Unfortunately, Big Business wouldn’t have made so much profit off of renewable energy, so we’re pretty much SOL for a good while, and probably once the shit really hits the fan, it may be nearly impossible to reclaim our past glory that oil had given us.

    I’ve lived with the scary thoughts before this article, so I guess I looked at it with hope that we will get by. Somehow.
