MY NOTE:

The world uses just over 1,000 barrels of oil a second! [See Peter Tertzakian] The trend is not our friend with gas and oil based on what is left. How can we determine how much is left? By the amount of Energy Returned On Energy Invested [EROEI] For the U.S., the EROEI is in severe decline. All parts of the world will follow the same experience because of the demand for this resource. To move to green alternatives requires use of oil and gas to produce the new alternatives. AS A BEGINNING, it is imperative that all individuals CUT THEIR CONSUMPTION of any energy source. I chose to grow more of my food based on the theory of distance. It is shorter to pick vegetable from my garden, then driving to a store to buy food products air transported, for example, from California. Your garden soil, so long as you keep it watered, is a living refrigerator of FRESH vegetables, herbs, berries, and fruits. This food approach will require to live by season and preserve foods for other seasons, a common approach of our prior agrarian society.
