Lifting The Offshore Oil Drilling Ban, Feeding The Oil Habit

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:46:20 +0000

President Bush and the Republican’t Nominee John McBush are both trying to exploit our pain at the gas pump into an opportunity to get even more profits for the oil companies by lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling.

This is an environmental disaster waiting to happen and it will NOT help lower gas prices. Worse yet it is an investment in continuing our dependence on oil and our reliance on oil producing countries that hate us.

It is time that we “turn and face the change” to alternative energy, renewable resources, Green Energy.

What Will Running Out of Oil Do To The World’s Economy?

admin — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:25:12 +0000

Hitting “peak oil” (and then riding it all the way down) is going to be the major event in our lives. It’s going to change everything about the way we do everything, and has the potential to completely decimate what we have come to know as “civilization”.

PERMACULTURE & PEAK OIL: Beyond ‘Sustainability’

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:03:36 +0000

David Holmgren is co-originator (with Bill Mollison) of the permaculture concept and author of the recent book, PERMACULTURE: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. He talks about the need to move beyond the lulling hope that ‘green tech’ breakthroughs will allow world-wide ’sustainable consumption’ to the recognition that dwindling oil supplies inevitably mean a mandatory ‘energy descent’ for human civilization across the planet. He argues that permaculture principles provide the best guide to a peaceful societal ‘powering down.”
