Yeah, I know George has been banging on about this for quite some time, and like you say Peter, the reality of peak oil should not be at all controversial. There should be debate and plans for the organised transition. As there would be in any sane society. There is even the example of Cuba which has gone through its own peak oil transition. It does seem quite delusional the lack of planning and organising not happening. Total MSM silence on the matter but lots of ads for cars (almost none zero emission or not reliant on petroleum of some kind) and o/s holidays and air conditioners, mcmansion homes. It is only individuals doing individual acts. Not organised community response. Crazy stuff.
