What seems to be true is that humanity is in the early innings of a great transition. Losing access to abundant energy will change more things that you or I can appreciate at this time.
The future is barreling towards us at a furious pace. And the pace of that change is accelerating.
It’s time to freak out a bit. To get serious about protecting ourselves. To make different decisions and reorganize our priorities.
If you understand energy and its relationship to the economy the way I do, you’d share my urgency to create community and develop a resilient homestead. My goal here is to nudge you towards action.

In the coming years and decades there will be hell to pay for society failing to properly assess the risks and re-align its priorities and activities accordingly.
Collectively, our human nature is sabotaging us. That’s my conclusion after exploring the biological underpinnings, as well as the limitations and realities, of our genetic programming.
Since humans are wired for optimism, and strongly discount the future for the present, then short-term decision making is what we’ll get.
