Jimmy Carter told me about it way back when and then they kicked him out of the white house for telling the truth so I stuck my head back in the sand for about twenty five years.

This guy told me about it, sometime before 1970. It's hard to believe that he wrote this quote below in 1973.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')The terrible possibility that is before us is that there will be the continued insistence on growth with our last energies by the economic advisors that don't understand, so that there are no reserves with which to make a change, to hold order, and to cushion a period when populations must drop. Disease reduction of man and of his plant production systems could be planetary and sudden if the ratio of population to food and medical systems is pushed to the maximum at a time of falling net energy. At some point the great gaunt towers of nuclear energy installations, oil drilling, and urban cluster will stand empty in the wind for lack of enough fuel technology to keep them running. A new cycle of dinosaurs will have passed its way. Man will survive as he reprograms readily to that which the ecosystem needs of him so long as he does not forget who is serving who. What is done well for the ecosystem is good for man. However, the cultures that say only what is good for man is good for nature may pass and be forgotten like the rest."

Somehow I heard of Simmons' book Twilight in the Desert. I think I heard it discussed on NPR or Wisc Public Radio. I checked the book out from the library. Some of the technical stuff taxed my attention span but the gist was clear enough. I then made the rounds on the internet.

Today I am here, trying to come up with low cost solutions to very down to earth problems that are on the horizon. Making sure I do everything I can to get my kids to their 18th birthday and are as prepared as I can get them for the world they will inheriet.
