| How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

| Portland, San Francisco, and Salisbury, Maryland, consider "peak oil"; |
|
 As "peak oil," the inevitable point of irreversible decline in the availability of the substance to which U.S. President George W. Bush has belated admitted the country is "addicted," surges in public awareness, some U.S. cities are rushing to address it, while others are burying their heads in the oil sands (formerly tar sands) and doing nothing.
Portland, Oregon, San Francisco, California, and Salisbury, Maryland, are all moving rapidly to consider the implications for their residents of the "peak oil" phenomenon.
