World Without Oil

                                                    
                                                    
   At www.worldwithoutoil.org a grassroots effort
to find ways to live as well as is possible in a
world with less and less oil is underway.  The 
organizers there are seeking ideas from anyone.  
Here is a link to their                               
Manifesto in 10 parts

Yesterday I read that this puffed-up USA nation     
uses 24% of the world's oil, and that is just   
the beginning of the story.  See J. H. Kunstler
article and comments beneath it in this blog.   
                                                
New reserves of oil are generally difficult to  
find, and extraction costly.  The nations with          
the largest pools of oil have for some years   
been reorganizing their societies because they  
too are running out of oil.  And nations that
want more oil are hastening the end of oil.        
                                              
The prices of most commodities from steel to   
seeds have been rising and likely will con-         
tinue to rise, and unless researchers can find    
ways to make ethanol from sources other than   
food plants/ along with ways to make ethanol    
clean and less expensive, ethanol is not the 
answer.  Some think hydrogen is the ultimate   
answer, but it too has not been researched
sufficiently.  Solar power could be maybe,
if the cost of panels comes down enough.  In  
any case, we humans need to help each other.
                                               
                                                
There are many articles about oil, but read
