BOSTON WORLD OIL CONFERENCE

The findings of Hirsch Report 2, while focused exclusively on big business solutions, are very realistic and some would say pessimistic. FTW loves to see this type of hard data published because it tells us precisely where we stand, and what is clear from this report is that we have run out of time to mitigate Peak Oil with big-business-as-usual solutions. Coal to liquid fuel, LNG, coal bed methane, tar sands and every alternative we have combined are not going to mitigate this crisis in time. Place-based, decentralized local solutions are our only hope to build a sustainable society. FTW applauds Benander for pointing at the elephant in the living room.
