Running on Empty - there is no plan B
Put off by those dry, complex articles about peak oil? Here's a short, interesting take on the coming energy crunch. It's from one of my local alternative papers.

3. excellent article
And charming illustrations.

I, too, can get excited about the changes declining oil reserves can bring about. I loved the fact that one of the people mentioned in the article got rid of his driveway and turned it into a garden.

Thanks for posting this; it was a great read.

5. I liked this line
"The Chinese state, not known for releasing accurate figures on anything...."

Hah, they should be saying that about the U.S.

6. Holy Moly !
Saudi Arabia may only have half the oil reserves they've previously claimed?

Good Grief!

Thanks for posting the article.
