A lot of the news lately about the oil crisis/costs/peak/runningout, etc has been really negative and doom-and-gloom. I don’t know if it’s supposed to scare people into giving up stuff or just another way the media likes to sensationalize everything, but whatever it is, I really don’t think fearmongering is the way to get people to change. I really liked the positive tone of this article, PeakOil doesn’t have to mean the apocalypse and we just need to look around a little to see examples of people making drastic life changes, without drastic bad effects.
