How should I prepare for life without oil?
Lucy Siegle, The Observer
We aren’t very good at envisaging a post-fossil fuel lifestyle. Although we happily talk about the price of organic vegetables or even the true cost of fish, the soaring price of oil remains anathema in lifestyle circles. Odd because there’s nothing that threatens our hydrocarbon-dependent lifestyles more.
Unnervingly, many commentators claim we’ve passed the peak of oil production. According to Richard Heinberg, we sailed passed it in May 2005 (Heinberg will give the Soil Association’s lecture on 22 November: What will we eat when the oil runs out? soilassociation.org). He suggests, in his new book Peak Everything: Waking up to the Century of Declines, that we need to wean ourselves off it. Fast.
