But having not worked on the transition while we had the time, is a transition even possible? That is the risk -- and it benefits no one. Not oil companies, not power companies, not anyone's gene pool, not even Christians welcoming the apocalypse. In a worst case (as I understand it, and I admittedly came late to this topic) the Saudi's have forced oil production to give the illusion that we have not peaked -- but we really peaked years ago. If that's true, when oil shortfalls start, they start hard: 14% per year instead of (say) 2%. That leaves no money for building windmills or nuclear plants or bicycles; let alone reconstructing railroads and small towns and researching fusion. However we can all get a government issue ukulele, and start local street choirs and be happy. I intend to start campaigning on that platform, but only after the grid collapses so no one will hear about it. - Charles
