Oil price rise: Bracing for a global meltdown

Skowhegan (Maine): If there’s anything in the United States of America that’s taking more news space than the presidential race, it’s global oil prices.

With oil prices soaring, there’s a group of people in the US who are bracing for a global meltdown.

Iver Lofving is convinced the world is running out of oil. He’s spent the last 10 years getting ready for that day. He is a mainstream survivalist, chopping his own wood, installing solar panels, growing vegetables and even driving a solar-powered-car. All of it geared to becoming self-sufficient.

…Lofving is a high school teacher who lives in Skowhegan, Maine roughly two hours north of Portland.

He believes a world driven by cheap oil is coming to an end.

‘How does peak oil play a role in the changes you’re making in your life?’

“Well, peak oil has everything to do with it!” he says.
