Or is that 'piece', LOL? An interesting recent post at TOD:
http://campfire.theoildrum.com/node/6823

discussing possible responses to probable collapse. The article poses questions rather than giving answers but the ensuing discussions in the comments are well worth reading and will give you insights into how you have and might respond.

More generally, TOD Campfire:
http://campfire.theoildrum.com/

often has articles and discussions worth reading and that, perhaps, we might explore further here in a more local context.


Sadly Matt Simmons died prematurely last Sunday. Just about anyone who knows about peak oil knows of Matt, his book "Twilight in the Desert" has done as much as any other to inform us of the imminence of the problem. He is sorely missed:

Wow, that's interesting - but not al that surprising I suppose. It's a bit scary how the comments focus so much on the alleged right to carry firearms. I can see why thoughts lead that way, but it isn't particularly attractive.
