\"Cheap \r\n oil is the party that we have been enjoying the past 150 years and that \r\n party is coming to an end. Within our lifetimes were going to see the end \r\n of the age of oil, and the result of that will be the end of the American \r\n way of life\"<\/i> - Richard \r\n Heinberg - in an excerpt from The END of SUBURBIA, www.endofsuburbia.com \r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Permanently \r\n increasing oil prices and, at some point, the inability to obtain fossil \r\n fuels at any price will make much of our urban landscape more or less untenable. \r\n Politics and the economy will become more locally-organized, and some localities \r\n will adapt better than others\"<\/i> \r\n - Richard B.

Peak Oil Information:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n
Peak oil is the point in time when extraction of oil from the earth reaches \r\n its highest point and then begins to decline. Most oil experts estimate \r\n this peak will occur by 2010.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
§ <\/span><\/span>Oil is used for transportation, electricity, heating, \r\n cooling, pesticides, plastics, pharmaceuticals, asphalt, concrete and steel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
§ <\/span><\/span>On average an American consumes 3 gallons of oil per \r\n day (1.8 gallons of which are imported).<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
§ <\/span><\/span>In the US, 10 calories of fossil-fuel energy go into \r\n e<\/span>very 1 calorie of food.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n
§ <\/span><\/span>Oil extraction will be physically unable to meet global \r\n demand<\/span><\/p>\r\n
§ <\/span><\/span>Alternative energy sources like nuclear and natural \r\n gas will fall far short of compensating for expected shortages of oil. <\/span><\/p>\r\n
The first step in preparing for an energy-reduced future is \r\n to educate yourself.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
