Peak Oil is History
by Dmitry Orlov 01 September 2010
http://www.culturechange.org/cms/content/view/674/1/
... It should be expected that the vast majority of people will have done
nothing to prepare, remaining quite unaware of the fact that this is
something they should have been doing. Quite a few people can be expected to
take a few small steps in a sensible direction, such as installing a wood
stove, or insulating their home, or in a seemingly sensible but ultimately
unhelpful direction, such as wasting their money on a new hybrid car or
wasting their energies on trying to form a new political party or to lobby
one of the existing ones. Some will buy a homestead, equip it for life off
the grid, start growing all their own food (perhaps transporting their
perishable surplus to a nearby farmer's market by cargo bicycle or by boat),
and home-school their children, putting an emphasis on the classics and on
agriculture, animal husbandry and other perennially useful knowledge. Some
will flee to a place where transportation fuels are scarce already, and where
a moped is considered a labor-saving device -- for your donkey or camel.
