Probably the best overall site on peak oil here.
Raising awareness done best from here.
The Swedish government has committed itself to going ‘off oil’ from 2020. I wish them luck.
There are possibilities available now. Yet – despite a full knowledge of the issue – the politicians are either doing nothing, or, worse, planning wars on a ‘last man standing’ philosophy.
If we rely on human nature to get us through then we are truly *&£$ed.
I’d say something optimistic about relying on the grace of God, but I’m thinking more about Jeremiah.
“Your own conduct and actions
have brought this upon you.
This is your punishment.
How bitter it is!
How it pierces to the heart!”
Oh, my anguish, my anguish!
I writhe in pain.
Oh, the agony of my heart!
My heart pounds within me,
I cannot keep silent.
For I have heard the sound of the trumpet;
I have heard the battle cry.
Disaster follows disaster;
the whole land lies in ruins.
In an instant my tents are destroyed,
my shelter in a moment.
How long must I see the battle standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
“My people are fools;
they do not know me.
They are senseless children;
they have no understanding.
They are skilled in doing evil;
they know not how to do good.”
I looked at the earth,
and it was formless and empty;
and at the heavens,
and their light was gone.
I looked at the mountains,
and they were quaking;
all the hills were swaying.
I looked, and there were no people;
every bird in the sky had flown away.
I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;
all its towns lay in ruins
before the LORD, before his fierce anger.
