When I learned of Peak Oil a few months ago, it was all very familiar… As in Tolkien’s book, the world as we know is coming to an end, for better or worse. Within my lifetime, what is left of it, most of what I have grown to know, if not love, will pass away, forever.
Adam Fenderson meets the man who predicts the end of life as we know it, and comes away feeling strangely optimistic. Also: a conference devoted to Peak Oil, where the mood was positive, and offered a sense of opportunity.

Col. Chin of the U.N. Relief Mission asked me to write about America and the great oil shock. He finds this period of history fascinating. He’s only 27 and on loan from the Chinese army, so it’s not as if he lived through it. As an old man, I have another advantage: I’m one of the few Americans who still can write.
