Notes on the future of energy
Dmitry Orlov came out with a book last year
titled "Reinventing
Collapse" where he compares the collapse of the Soviet Union with
what's going on now in the United States.
His attitude towards this bleak version of our future has a surprising
upbeat tone to it. He points out some simple things we can change now
to be better prepared for what he envisions as a tough ride.
I got attracted to his way of thinking by watching this very
informative interview
on Russian television. His blog
has even deeper articles he's written on the subject, including a
radical way of using sail boats to solve some of the problems he
predicts are already unavoidable.

It's scary, but I think he's right. Time to prepare for an economic collapse. Grow victory gardens,

Victory gardens! I love the phrase (and the concept, obviously.)
