‘Why are you so negative at TOD?’
The people at The Oil Drum have learned the facts, and we don’t sugar coat them. Frankly, I am immensely proud of this community and its approach to the real problems we face. There are a lot of smart people here thinking hard about what’s coming. … Every single person we educate about our energy situation is another person who has the choice to a) learn, b) prepare according to their own perceptions, and c) educate others. Do you really think that I keep harping on all of you to spread this site around for my own ego or personal gain? Hell no. It’s about facilitating education and conversation for as many as we can.
