Probably the best overall site on peak oil here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Raising awareness done best from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Swedish government has committed itself to going ‘off oil’ from 2020. I wish them luck.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

If we rely on human nature to get us through then we are truly *&\u00a3$ed.<\/p>\n

I’d say something optimistic about relying on the grace of God, but I’m thinking more about Jeremiah.<\/p>\n

“Your own conduct and actions
have brought this upon you.
This is your punishment.
How bitter it is!
How it pierces to the heart!”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Disaster follows disaster;
the whole land lies in ruins.
In an instant my tents are destroyed,
my shelter in a moment.<\/p>\n

How long must I see the battle standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

I looked at the earth,
and it was formless and empty;
and at the heavens,
and their light was gone.<\/p>\n

I looked at the mountains,
and they were quaking;
all the hills were swaying.<\/p>\n

I looked, and there were no people;
every bird in the sky had flown away.<\/p>\n

I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;
all its towns lay in ruins
before the LORD, before his fierce anger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
