This turning point, called peak oil, will mark the end of growth of oil production, and the beginning of permanent decline. Our present lifestyle will be challenged as the supply of oil (and other fossil fuels) diminishes, and prices increase.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.whynot.net/peakoil/"><P><STRONG>How can I help?</STRONG></p> <P>The questions of peak oil are large. The answers are not obvious, and in some cases may not yet exist. Since we cannot assume that new technology will be able make up the shortfall in energy, we must fall upon our own resources to invent new ways of doing things more efficiently, and of doing more things ourselves: as individuals, as communities, as governments. The kinds of solutions required will include new twists on existing ideas as well as approaches that have not yet been invented.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3E2584C7-0F7B-463A-A9B1-8B55F4E3ACB6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
