We have ignored the need to develop alternative energy on a large scale far too long to make a smooth transition away from the depleting supply of fossil fuels. Individuals will have to take matters into their own hands, making sure that the resources they need to survive are close at hand when transporting goods becomes difficult, which will be very challenging in urban areas. I think that waiting for our government or society as a whole to come up with realistic solutions is a foolish at this point. Our government is too busy trying to cover up our economic problems for political reasons to have time to find viable solutions, and our citizens are not ready to believe it could really happen here. It's going to be every man or small community for themselves when the carefully cultivated facade of prosperity falls away, and what a terrible thing it will be to watch. I'm becoming more sure every day that I made the right move for my kids, and just in the nick of time. We will be insulated from the worst to some degree in our isolated little community and be self sufficient enough to make it through.Melinda L.
