From Peak Oilers to Citizens for Sustainable Living

I want to add some balance to some of the supply-side conversations we have had here at TOD. I think Stuart has done some great analyses of potential depletion curves, physics and predictions of future supply. If we can sharpen up these analyses and get people to start taking a harder look at these numbers, we will continue to see prices rise to more appropriately value this extremely precious commodity.

But then what? Demand destruction can happen two ways: (A) loss of economic activity or (B) a shift toward a more sustainable economic system.

That is why I would like to start reframing the peak oil issue from one that focuses on the negative doom and gloom consequences of inaction into one that presents a positive vision of creating a sustainable society with healthier lifestyles for all citizens. However negative the consequences, we must focus on what we are for, not just what we are against.
