So, those limitless supplies turned out not to be limitless, or cheap (or any 
longer efficient), and we are left with only one real option: to face the 
need for a thorough systemic transformation of our entire society to one that 
emphasizes less consumption of material resources and energy (conservation), 
less globalization (shipping resources and products back and forth wastefully 
across oceans and continents), and more localization which has inherent 
efficiencies and savings from the mere fact of local production and use, and 
far less processing and shipping.
