Dr. John Darnell PhD., Roscoe Bartlett's energy advisor, gave a 35 minute presentation on adaptation lessons from the Apollo 13 mission that we could apply to the problem of peak oil. . . . His proposal is to reduce demand is a controlled annual 5% reduction (worldwide I assume) ahead of the geological decline rate to provide a hydrocarbon cushion for the future to help transition to a low energy economy and give time for alternatives to ramp up. . . Seems like a sensible plan to me. A goal that everyone from the individual, to industry, to government, could aim for. That's pretty much the approach I've been trying to take this year. Actually aiming quite a bit higher than 5% in order to keep costs somewhat in line as gas & electricity are high and getting higher all the time. ~croc
