From the article:

Peter Laskowski stacks firewood at his remote home in Waitsfield, Vt., Friday, April 11, 2008. Convinced that the planet's oil supply is dwindling and the world's economies are heading for a crash, people around the country are moving onto homesteads, learning to live off their land, conserving fuel and, in some cases, stocking up on guns they expect to use to defend themselves and their supplies from desperate crowds of people who didn't prepare.

Sounds an awful lot like many people around here.

On the PeakOil.com Web site, where upward of 800 people gathered on recent evenings, believers engage in a debate about what kind of world awaits.

Whoa, it IS many people from around here.

I have this niggling feeling that there are peakers within the A.P. staff who are trying to make a point to their readership, to start preparing A.S.A.P.

Thanks for the link

"These energy survivalists are not leading some sort of green revolution meant to save the planet. Many of them believe it is too late for that, seeing signs in soaring fuel and food prices and a faltering U.S. economy, and are largely focused on saving themselves."

Good description of some of us.

I saw it in our local paper and the article is what made me decide to join peakoil.com.

Welcome, grampybone, I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do. Btw, what does "grampybone" mean

The name is from the computer game fallout 2. One of the characters in the game was Sulik,(one of my favorite characters) who was a tribal and was very superstitious. He had a bone through his nose that belonged to his grandfather. He believed that his grandfather communicated to him through the bone. He named the bone "grampbone" I Don't know why I chose that name. It just popped into my head!

Perhaps from a similar adornment?
