Welcome to the madness. Once you start learning about peak oil life is vever the same again. You may even find you become depressed - many people do. I did after I started studying it a few years ago. The best thing to do is something - anything - to prepare. For me it has been learning to grow my own fod and getting totally out of debt. The sooner you can do these 2 things the better. It will be struggle but this is all we can really do to prepare - there is very little time left so start NOW.

I received an investment newsletter today, it deals mainly with energy investments. It said, Ghawar Oil Field, the largest in the world, at current production rates, will be 100% dry in 871 days. Now, oil fields dont get completely dry so you can expect it to stop producing in, maybe 600 days. Then the smaller fields will deplete at a much more rapid pace. I am not a doomsdayer, but i believe governments do not want people to know the possible difficulties waiting the world.

I just heard of the PeakOil concept Sat.morning, its Sun.night & I've been freaked out & pacing back & forth all weekend. When I got the concept, it felt like nothing mattered anymore. I feel like Neo n "The Matrix" when he knows the truth. Or Sarah Connor n "The Terminator2". I see everyone around me going on with their lives with the dream of a bright future. Everthing seems trivial & pointless. I work n the oil industry & I feel ashamed 2 b apart of the prob. But n this society, everyone is.

jay, it may not be as far off as you think. The world reach Peak in 05. We are like a dead man standing, we just don't know we are dead and fail to topple over. I'm in no big rush for it to happen, but unless they find some big Saudi size oil field we are screwed.

It really depends. The Electric companies will actually install it and pay you to use solar. It hooks up to the grid. They will pay you for extra power. Also, you can make home made solar panels like my father has.

good for your dad, he's one less burden on the system when it starts to falter, unlike the sheep down south right complaining they had to wait for buses or didnt get a biscuit with their Salisbury steak....so good on him, we need more folks to wake up and stop being leaches!

This video made me think deeper then almost any video on you tube.....the only thing is, that dark age is a long time away....its gonna be a long time before america runs out of oil, and another thing is alot of people are working on alternative power sources...but then again this video was posted in 2006...
