Shocked my ass. These bastards just didn't want to talk about it until it hit them in the face.

If anyone tells you that they're "shocked" or "surprised" or "couldn't believe" what's going on. Tell them to FO. This shit has been known and in the works for decades. Goes back to the Carter administration in the US.

The word is DENIAL.

I'm shocked to find my Peak-Oil nutcase colleague
is actually not a nutcase but was telling the truth all the time.

shocked - no frustrated about the pollies, don't they have more imagination than slashing fuel taxes? In times when these taxes are most needed, to upgrade the railway system, to research on renewables, invest in energy saving. ...

None of this matters. Nothing good is going to happen to change the course of events. No one on these forums, at least that I can find, will talk about what really needs to be done. So nothing will be done. I shocked by all the sanctimonious people who only complain and don't develop solutions. And I'll really be shocked if anyone does.

[alokin]

vetusfirma, what solutions are you developing?

When I was a kid I remember seeing Carter sitting in front of the fireplace in his cardigan sweater in the 70's talking about this. Fireside chats they were called.

People thought he was crazy then. Not so crazy now is it.
