"#3 Ron, CA: How do you respond to the gloom-and-doom of the Peak Oil predictions that include near total implosion of our economy and life as we know it today?
Like most people, my initial reaction to anything I read that is too dire is usually disbelief and I discount it heavily. However, after doing my own research, I do believe we are in for some very serious economic impacts if we do nothing and stay on our current over consuming course. If we aggressively pursue conservation and alternative energy sources now, we have a chance at minimizing the impacts. It's like we are in a plane that is going to crash, if we take the right action and do so quickly, we may be able to crash land or possibly pull out. Right now, I think most of the US population don't know of this problem or worse they believe there will be a miracle solution found before they need to worry about it. Keep in mind, most large corporations who benefit from oil or whose products rely on it need to maximize their profits up until the bitter end - this keeps them from "aggressively" pursuing or pushing new energy technologies until they've gleaned all they can from their current products. Also, because of the costly distribution systems involved with energy, new market entrants have a very difficult time gaining any market traction against the status quo. So far, only a few true visionaries at large corporations (Honda and Toyota for example) have been willing to step away from the herd.

I joined their forum .

I have made it my goal to turn several of those people into Peak Oilers. It shouldn't be difficult.

This looks like a pretty serious out-fit here. I mean, I know that I'm fed up as all hell when it comes to the Saudis and the Middle East in general. It's kind of nice to see someone taking some action rather than bitching about it (talking about me here) on this forum.
