How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

As every body states, air travel will be much less common and the industry will contract in size significantly. At least 1/2 and maybe even as much as to 1/5 of its current size. I see no way around t ...

For a not insubstantial number of us, serious "doom" is our mode of optimism. You could label us the Kunstler/Illich camp. It's not traditional Luddism... technology is great, sometimes. But, a lot ...
