Democracy Now mentions peak oil
Instead of trying to help its readers understand the causes of the global warming that may devastate the islands and even continents, the WSJ seeks merely to guide its readers to the best of the worsening islands. Such a short-sighted attitude of merely using, rather than preserving, the Earth’s bountiful gifts advances global warming
We live in a period of transition. About ten generations ago the age of energy dawned with the burning of charcoal and the steam engines. Today we have reached the time before dusk falls.
The predicted decline of the oil-based economy is an opportunity to replace TINA (there is no alternative) economies, that enrich global corporations, with LOIS (locally owned import substitution) economies, that create prosperous communities.
