why does the future rely on 'new' development?
In David Holmgren's new book he recognises the value of 'new energy
technologies' as helping us trhough the energy descent, but looks to main
pre-industrial fuel as our future energy source - wood.
it appears to me that amid all the pace of post-modernity that our culture
refuses to acknowledge the 'one step forward, two steps back approach'...we
need to step back a little and acknowledge the value of more sustainable
times than ours.

PS-- I'll follow your advice and check out David Holmgren. I'll be surprised-- wood seems like it would be the last on the list of promising fuels, not to mention a waste of soon-to-be-scarce lumber.
