http://www.crudeawakening.org/Preparing.htm
I was searching in google for something related to the Post Peak Preparation topic we were talking about in class. The website was credible with a more deepened list of suggestions for preparation to Post Peak. (The link is above)
What I thought was a little bogus was when this article started off saying, "We must all do our part as citizens and also persuade government and industry to begin to prepare for these changing times in an energy constrained future." We all know the government, multi-billionare oil companies, baby faced celebrities, or even the average joe would most likely not leave their Ferrai's, Mercedes, Bmw's or empty out our pockets to support the preparation to a scientific prediction based on evidential logic. (it might sound dumb not to believe in the obvious, but some people just can't let go of the wealth they have, "its their only advantage in the world"). Instead oil companies and we the people continue to invest in critically using fossil fuels and continue to produce new technology advancing our use in this finite resource. No matter how logically correct post peak may sound, for instance the truth that oil is finite, many oil companies and the people are "optimitic". They believe technology and good faith will ensure the continuation of our american civilization. We are the core reasons to why our country is still manufactuering these thirsty "fossil fuel burning machines". The article is right about persuading the government and industry in changing our countries ways, but mutal effort and the threat of financial equality might shatter this thought of preparation.
Next the article introduces the question, What should individuals and families be considering now? First preparation idea was to reduce yours or your families reliance on infrastructure from central community services. They described examples of things to avoid using like electricity, running water, stove gas, transportation, anything that can be vulnerable to a oil shortage situation. I find this bull, because first of all, my family will not fetch reeked water from the dirty Hudson river or at Seaport, and spark rocks to make a fire and boil the damn water, just to get a "feel" in how post peak would feel like. Families would find this activity hard to accomplish because of the simplicity of things when it comes to running water, home lighting, or gas when fossil fuels are still in stock. Stopping their use of all these things would just make their lives more complicated than they already are, they might as well enjoy their lives for as long as they can before this destructive lifestyle actually begins to happen. They also mentioned that practising this might help save our family a lot of money, but if we compare to a rich man's capital to Whoopy the Irish hobo who lamps around on wall street with whiskey in his right hand, it might be best for Whoopy to practice these routines, but for the rich man, he doesn't have to give in these money problems because MONEY AINT A THANG! for him.
What I agree with in the article was their preparation by relying less on individual transportation, and instead use a type of transportation that carries masses instead of one person. (This usually happens in Suburbs where cars are needed to bring one or two persons from place to place, usually to work or the super market..."I learned this in class"). Unlike the suburbs, we live in New York City, where the MTA can almost take us anywhere in the city, as well as public buses or ferrys which all unfortunately consumes finite oil, but on the bright side travelling on buses and trains more often is a step closer in transforming ourselves from burning larger amounts of fossil fuels. Suggestions like relying on your fan instead of your AC plays a big role in the amount of energy consumption, especially in the summer, and also for winter where putting on more clothes can help in warming the body than clicking your thermostate nob higher. This will actually help us realize how cold winter really is, or hot global warming is really making our summers hotter.
The rest of the preparation suggestions I've already learned in Social Science, where building our own roof gardens or food should be learned, due to the lack of transportation of foods and goods in a post peak scenario. Also they mentioned simple repairs and "getting to know your neighbors" which the class also went over in deep discussions on Personal preparations for a post peak scenario.
What I want to know more about this article is, information on non-profit programs that are willing to train people who are interested in preparing for a Post Peak scenario, and provide them with real life experience. I personally wouldn't mind learning how to grow my own food, just in case there was a crazy potatoe disease that spread all over American farms, I would be able to grow my own delicacey of curry potatoes with rice.
