[Steve Diver <steved@ipa.net>]

I figure the book by John Howe has been mentioned
on the permaculture list -- "The End of Fossil Energy 
and the Last Chance for Survival", but you might be 
interested in the website and pamphlet for "Triple Crisis 
of Civilization -- A Survival Handbook"

Also see the solar-powered tractor.

The End of Fossil Energy

---- Summary of John Howe's book "The End of Fossil 
Energy and the Last Chance for Survival" as well as
John Howe's solar-powered tractor in Maine. 

John Howe contributes some feedback to the 
blog with the following:

"I could go one and on, but please consider my 
background ... a successful life-long career in 
product development including VP of Engineering 
for Head Ski division of AMF.  Amongst my many 
patents, my patented tennis racket was the first 
composite racket and used by Arthur Ashe to win 
Wimbledon in the mid 70's.  My training is to 
think ahead of the curve before the demand rears 
its urgent head."
