Young professionals and peak oil

Young professionals may well be more aware and engaged about Peak Oil than other age groups. We may also find it easier to be more frugal, have a recent broad education about the opportunities (and shortcomings) of technology and efficiency, and be able to see through the hype about hydrogen, biofuels and other alternatives which capture the attention of politicians, the media and others.

Young Professionals are vulnerable to the shocks that Peak Oil will bring to our society, but we are also well equipped to tackle energy descent, perhaps more realistically than others who simplistically advocate alternative fuels and vague technological fixes.
