The one thing that I question is the slow collapse. It appears that many signs are pointing the direction of an economic collapse… however I just don’t now enough about it to say for sure. And I also know that there are thousands of people who study economics, who work in the government, who have positions of power and influence… and I’m just not convinced that all those people could be totally blind. Perhaps there is something I don’t know. Perhaps the Oil companies are waiting to roll out technology at the right moment to keep the American people strung out and dependent on them and avoid an all out revolt.

So aside from the proposed threat of social-economic-political collapse, I certainly do think that we are on the edge of an envioronmental cliff, and sometimes progress means taking a step backwards. Or perhaps a ten steps. Let’s go back to the beginning of the industrial age, when steam engines and electric cars were invented.

What do you think?
