Comments on: Congress Acts on Peak Oil: Votes to Sue OPEC http://emergentink.com/2008/05/21/congress-acts-on-peak-oil-votes-to-sue-opec/ greater than the sum of its parts Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:06:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: bodhgaya http://emergentink.com/2008/05/21/congress-acts-on-peak-oil-votes-to-sue-opec/comment-page-1/#comment-204 bodhgaya Thu, 22 May 2008 03:30:06 +0000 http://emergentink.com/?p=121#comment-204 Apology for the cynical note……..somehow finding it difficult to not be cynical today, but I do say it as I see it. I think that “peak oil” as an issue is getting enough lip service……………not many are making efforts to take notice of it is another story, and hopeless methods such as Congress voting to sue OPEC are probably going to only make matter worse-like pouring oil into the fire (pun not intended). I think “talking the talk” about peak oil is now the past-time for everybody, it is “the” trendy thing to do, but frankly speaking very few folks who are talking the talk are actually walking the walk. To stay ahead of the curve and set a refreshing trend I suggest that your forum should explore the possibilities of providing some feasible ideas and coverage on real stories that are inspirational or provide alternative solutions to the “post peak oil” phase. For some reason it did not come as a surprise that after a basic internet search on phrases such as peak oil, post peak oil, post peak oil solutions, solutions for post peak oil phase, solutions after peak oil……….I found very little of what everybody will soon need most i.e. practical and useful information on the “management” of the post peak oil phase. Again, it is the voice of the hidden cynic inside me speaking today but who cares!!…………… The cynics are right nine times out of ten.-Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) American journalist, satirist and social critic.
