V.B. Price: A Slick Slope

Let’s say Kunstler is right – that there will be no orderly transition from a fossil fuel economy to a renewable energy economy and that most of us will get caught in the political and financial turmoil that such shortsightedness will cause.

Kunstler forecasts that when what he calls the “cheap oil fiesta” is over, America will become a playground for two-bit despots and corporate pirates and that the sprawling, suburban material culture that defines our postwar prosperity will come crashing down, leaving millions bankrupt.

Kunstler slips over into rhetorical hysteria from time to time, but his basic message is correct – and, I think, even a little too optimistic.
