I have been doing a lot of reading about our modern 21st
Century dependence on energy for the continuation of society as we know it. Of course the primary energy source of our
world is oil which is often referred to as ancient concentrated sunlight and this is or is very soon going to "peak" in production. With ever increasing demand on a finite and dwindling resource then trouble is knocking - and much sooner than we are all led to believe.
Chris Martenson has a very articulate and well presented
overview of our collective dilemma which he has published in a series of
downloadable movies. He calls this
"The Crash Course" and explains very lucidly how we (mankind) face
the “perfect storm” of crises. Our debt
based fiat money system; our complete dependence on oil as the primary cheap energy
source and the rapid deterioration of the ecology around us all add up to some
serious problems. Funnily enough, whilst
these issues are no doubt know to the major governments of the world, there is
very little, if anything, done about it.
As a result, it seems like the majority of us are sleep
walking into a crisis.

with the lights on...
