It is time to take an honest look at our energy predicament and change course. If we don’t, and soon, it’s likely that we’ll find ourselves in a world starved of energy, resources and even basic sustenance.

Our request is simple: we are asking YOU — activated citizens, community organizers, students, as well as anyone who cares about our future and our relationship to the natural world — to help us get the word out in a BIG way. The Public Energy Art Kit (P.E.A.K.), the final installment in our year-long Energy Reality campaign, is an effort to promote basic energy literacy, without which no movement toward a sustainable energy future can occur.
 
Join us in our national campaign to get 35,000 P.E.A.K. newspapers and their digital counterparts into public view. Leave a stack of these newspapers in public spaces in your community, or hang individual posters on the wall of your local city hall, at the entrance to your university, on your favorite freeway underpass, on the Statue of Liberty (high degree of difficulty), or even on the Capitol building itself. You get the picture. When you’re done, post a photo to PCI’s Facebook page, or your own social media channels with the hashtag #energyreality. Include the location and your thoughts, and we’ll share far and wide.
 
Post Carbon Institute has been honored to work with twelve wickedly talented artists on this project. The resulting work is here. Take a look, get started, and get ready for our new shared energy reality.
 
WE’RE READY to start using our limited resources responsibly.
WE’RE READY for the end of massive, centralized, polluting corporate energy.
WE’RE READY to fight for a better energy reality.…
ARE YOU?

A future of ‘fewer and less’ may be unavoidable. But how do we get there humanely?

By Robert Jensen, Savage Minds

With age, I’ve become more aware of the world’s complexity but also better equipped to come to simple, albeit painful, conclusions: We need to replace fantasies of endless growth with ideas about managing the contraction.

Affordability, not scarcity, is the real energy crisis

By Gail Tverberg, Our Finite World

In this post, I examine differences in economic behaviour by comparing two types of periods: those with low energy affordability and those with high energy affordability.

Welcome to the new Resillience commenting system!

We have moved from the former Disqus commenting system to a new system as of September 10, 2026.

  • Your past comments have not disappeared.
  • You can log in with your old Disqus credentials, as well as Gmail credentials or a Resilience account (formerly Resilience+). Login with Facebook and other credentials is coming soon.

We made this change because of privacy concerns regarding Disqus. It's also part of a set of changes to bring more services to the Resilience community under a single login: commenting, (coming September 2026), and online courses (coming 2027). Unfortunately, your old Disqus comments may not reliably link to your account in this new system. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
