I've just been reading about the mennonites in Belize. With their low level
of technological dependence, maybe they would be more able to survive the
effects of peak oil.

Some conservative groups live as though they were still in the sixteenth
century. They have long beards, wear traditional clothes, play no music in
their churches, refuse to use electricity, drive horse and buggies rather
than cars, while their tractors do not have rubber tires. ... Others are far
more liberal; they dress in normal clothes, have music in the churches,
drive cars and pickups and embrace technology. They are some of the most
prosperous and productive persons in Belize, especially in the agricultural
sector. Oil has recently been found on Mennonite land and a few of them are
planning to enter politics.
