I want to see the peak arrive earlier so that we can start dealing with it, rather than having to tolerate these bullshite smoke and mirror proposals being put forward as sufficient energy allternatives. I do hold an element of the "I told you so" attitude also; I've managed to install zero amount of concern or interest into any individual I know after 6 moths of trying to get the peak oil picture across. My efforts have seen me ostracized by more and more people, and I'm tired of being made out by this culture to be an anomoly for taking peak-oil seriously.
It's beginning to feel more and more as if I am awaiting the arrival of an old friend.
Bring on the peak.

Not rooting for it, but it is the best for the planet. And it doesn't matter what we root for, it will happen. Humans were caretakers of this planet and she could not defend herself. It breaks my heart that those in power pursued this path.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('chukar', 'O')f course not! The way I see it, peak oil means the return of diseases such as cholera and bubonic plague. I'm in a terrible situation. Hawaii is ridiculously overcrowded, dependent on massive good and energy imports and the problems only worsen every year. As much as I'd like to see a change of lifestyle, I value my health and security.
Maybe you should get a sailboat and be ready to risk the run north to Alaska. Its not the most difficult trip at the right time of year; and if you catch the timing wrong, you could always kill some time at sea while everyone else is shooting and bashing each other to claim 1000sq ft pieces of land to grow some food on.
You'll need to be able to make fresh water, and you'll probably want to learn how to operate an amatuer version of a longline. The more fish you can eat, the less peanut butter you'll have to eat.
Oh, and no pretty boats, no big boats. John Letcher's Island Girl would be a good example of a tested design.

Argg.... Until the Pirates Come to take your horde of PB. You know Polly just dont take kindly to those denying him his peanut butter crackers
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('holmes', 'S')eldom says it all! If you have a soul and have any human qualities left the party will be spectacular! True compassion and love. Freedom! Brutal for sure but once done a chance for renewal. I will teach all the children I know to cast off cornucopians like lepers. Hate the machine. Thats what I will do until death. its the only chance and hope healthy bright and vibrant children will ahve. They might not know it yet. teach them well!
Holmes, Seldom Seen, Magician you guys said it well. It's the old Situationist motto: "In a society which bans all real forms of adventure, the only adventure which remains is the destruction of the society."
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mortifiedpenguin', 'A')nyone who is rooting for peak oil is an asshole
That may be. I'd rather be an asshole living free than another nice, domesticated, brain-dead, American consumer.
