I’ve spread this via my other web 2.0 personas (facebook and myspace(ughgughguhg)). So here it is via Blog as well for anyone who might miss it. This is an article about our dependence on oil and the question of what will happen to our society as it depletes, along with answers. Don’t pass this one up, it’s a very good read and will defintely make you think.

Excerpt: “The issue is not about running out — it’s about what happens when you head over the all-time production peak down the slippery slope of depletion. And what happens is that the complex systems we depend on for everyday life in advanced societies begin to falter, wobble, and fail — and the failures in each system will in turn weaken the others. By complex systems I mean the way we produce our food, the way we conduct manufacture and trade, the way we operate banking and finance, the way we move people and things from one place to another, and the way we inhabit the landscape.”
