Chicago could be an interesting place to live post-peak. There is a lot of good farmland in the midwest and lots of water in the lake.

You probably won't die of hunger or thirst anyway.

Good luck, and keep us posted on your journey.

Oh yea,, Welcome to Peak Oil..

Welcome! What would you like to chat about?

[eastbay]

Yeah, what's on your mind? Hmmm?

Greetings!
This is my first post from the worst place on the planet for P.O. which is called the Palouse-
Home of the U of I Vandals and WSU , about 7 miles away.


I just want to put in my vote, and my hope, for a long descent after an economic recovery in 2010.
Thanks,
J

Good day everyone!
I have been reading about peak oil issues for just over a decade now.
In 2006 I made the move from Ontario to Newfoundland.
This June my husband and I will be living at our doomstead full time.
He will still be working while I will be working at the cabin...between food, water and fire wood a full time job in itself.
This comes about not just as a doomstead...it's been the way that I have wanted to live ever since I could remember. So it's also the beginning of a dream that I have been waiting for a long time for.

I am also basically a lurker. I don't talk much in real life and that carries through onto the net. Just the way that I am. I contribute when I feel that I have something helpful to add.

Hello,

Let's see ... ..

Who -- Phildo, nickname from way-back. It is a combination of my first and middle name. I am 48, Mrs. Phildo is a good bit younger, but usually more mature than me and the chilluns are 7, 5, and 2.

What -- Electrical Engineer type, MS/BS -- bfd Work in Power type stuff. Came up through the trades, so Master Electrician, as well. Teach it now, too. Mostly interested in scaling various renewable energy projects to individual and community scale. And current pet project -- Electric Farming. -- that is where modern farming techniques are done w/o Oil inputs for fuel.

Where -- Mostly from Texas, but travel most of the US and beyond for work or fun.

When -- Just about all the time. Usually studying, teaching, or playing with the kids to build this type stuff.

Why -- Have seen Big Shifts in the Texas Energy market and beyond, as depletion models add up. The road ahead looks like it could be dark or pretty bright, depending on the path(s) chosen and steps taken. So my interest is to review concepts, ideas, and see what leads to practical application.

Guess that covers the basics?

Thanks for having me.

Welcome Phildo. I suggest you look through the 'Planning for the Future' forum for lots of practical advice. And you could possibly start a thread on your area of expertise, Electric Farming. It sounds like it could be an interesting subject.

[Phildo]

Hey GetAbike,

Newbie, here, too.

Looks like a really interesting area >>>

Why do you figure it is so bad regarding P.O?

How would a farming area be the worse place to be past Peak Oil ??, I would think Vegas would be the 1st to go..
