Peak Oil

humans are a funny bunch, they only react when there is an emergency.

right now, people aren't reacting to peak oil as a whole because they are lulled into the belief that we are just one massive discovery away from being energy independant.

Dovetail that kind of philosophy with the propaganda that has been soaking our society for the last 30+ years and it becomes very apparent why nothing is being done and why people are willfully ignorant.

People complain abou the price of food going up, the price of heating oi going up, the price of gas going up, and the price of just about everything going up, yet, the majority of people in this nation are at pains to ask the $64,000 dollar question of "Why?"

I just tell people to learn how to garden. Trying to convince them otherwise is like trying to teach a dog to do math. Most people can't wrap their heads around the fact that there isn't enough oil to go around and it's a finite resource.
