The Long Emergency:

What's going to happen as we start
running out of cheap gas to guzzle?

Paints a dim picture for the future. I don't know how accurate the
article is, my guess is that it's close enough to the truth that we
should be very concerned. More nuclear plants? More oil refineries?
What is the answer to the problem? Maybe there is no good answer. Maybe there's a problem and no solution. I don't know how (other than the simplistic reasoning offered) he arrived at the conclusion that the Northeast will be better off than everybody else; "more likely to salvage the bits and pieces of our best social traditions and keep them in operation at some level."
Well maybe so...They (Northeast states)and many of the inner cities are the ones that want more government, more hand outs and have LESS value placed on moral(not popular) er..I mean social traditions.
Other than the somewhat odd finish, a good article. Maybe a major news network will pick it up.
