hi ed,
we are trying to do something over this side of the pond (UK) though this organization.
http://www.transitiontowns.org/
not sure if there are any groups your side of the pond. i am in the local energy group, we deal with long term issues like what happens when the oil runs out and " big business" has other things to worry about rather than the competition from a small bunch of radicals like us. we are almost an island where i live so its a bit easier to work out the figures on power consumption. think the electrical power requirements at present levels of usage is around 25 megawatts.tourism is the main industry, but that might drop if there is no oil. not enough land for bio diesel at current consumption levels. so guess we will have to walk or cycle. which might be quite nice with no cars to kill you at every turn.-:)) oh wait a minute no point walking into town tesco/asda/walmart will be long gone by then. might even have to grow stuff to eat. now there's a radical idea if ever i heard one.
cheers
