Musings

I apologize for going so long without posting here.

Lately I've been thinking of what I should do to prepare for living in a post-peak world. Should I leave my life right now and move to a rural area? Where? What skills should I learn? How should I use what little resources that I have to prepare myself?

Most days I feel that there's really nothing that I can do, and that I just have to be at peace with myself and enjoy life while I still can.

I also feel angry. Why didn't we address this decades ago? Surely when the first oil fields ever went into depletion, somebody had to have thought to themselves, "Hmmm, this stuff doesn't keep coming out of the ground forever. What will happen when there's no more left?"

And still the overwhelming majority of Americans are in ignorance or denial. And it doesn't help that the subject isn't addressed by the mainstream media or the government. It doesn't help that we've built ourselves into an unsustainable lifestyle that most Americans have come to view as God-given normalcy.

And the crap could hit the fan at any time...
