      We're doomed, doomed I tell you

      http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/

      Amazing what you find when you're not looking for it?
      Actually followed a link to http://www.dansdata.com/danletters097.htm from hydrogenaudio.

      http://www.peakoil.net - a slightly less rabid site on the same topic.


      Remember, the human race has already hunted species to extinction and near extinction - you have to expect that we WILL mine out resources until the end is actually in sight, and then fight each other for what's left.

      As they say, what WILL fill the gap? Nuclear is, quite rightly, out of favour due to the threats from accident, waste, and lifecycle costs of construction and decomissioning.

      The promise of fusion, may never be more than a promise - though it would be better than current nuclear if they ever get anywhere.

      Most alternatives can't be relied on, though implementing alternative power sources NOW where they can contribute, would delay the inevitable.

      How do you go about it? Politics doesn't work so far. Maybe the only thing that will is to allow some to still egt a glut of cash from it?
