When author Michael Ruppert takes the stage in Eugene tonight, he'll have some really really bad news and a sliver of good news to offer his audience.
The bad news: Ruppert and others believe we're approaching a tipping point they call "peak oil," the moment when we've consumed half of the planet's oil.
With no alternative energy source waiting in the wings to easily save us from our consumer-driven selves, Ruppert says we're headed for painful consequences.
The good news: Oregon is uniquely poised to survive the coming economic and social chaos.
