temporaneità

Yesterday we reached the so long awaited price of 100 USD per barrel for front month crude oil… could you imagine a better opportunity to publish the first, pessimistic, post/review of this snowy new year?

Peak Oil Survival is one of the saddest books I ever read: don’t read it until you are acquainted with Peak Oil; do your homework first:

• read blogs/mailing lists/newsgroups and so on (a must read is The Oil Drum of course);
• read books like The Limits to Growth, Half Gone, The Renewable Energy Handbook and Natural Capitalism;
• join a study group.

Now you might be ready for this book but I would suggest you delay reading it if

• you suffer from depression or you have become depressed doing the previous homework;
• you own a shotgun or you often think about the way people like Ernest Hemingway or Kurt Cobain took their own lives. :-\
