With Transition, many people encounter the model, the tools, the Network, and enter what we might call ‘Super Exuberance Mode’, where they feel they have found the One Thing That Will Save Us. Over time, this then calms down, and they become more realistic and grounded, but although that early stage is a powerful experience for many, it also has its inherent dangers. 1 hour ago

If you need to buy a consumer good, remember that buying USED is the most environmental choice you can make in almost all cases. If you're preparing for peak oil, you might want to practice buying used goods- they might be all that's available in a post-peak economy. 5 hours ago
Last week the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris released their annual report on the state of the world's energy resources -- World Energy Review 2008. As the world's energy situation becomes more and more confused, with prices gyrating wildly, and with more voices warning of unprecedented problems just ahead, this 569-page report stands as the most authoritative description of what will happen to the world's energy supply. The energy policies of the 28 countries that are members of the IEA in theory hinge on the report's findings - and that is where the trouble comes in. ... if one reads between the lines and uses the data to draw one's own conclusion, the new report simply screams that peak oil and all that it implies is just about here. 5 hours ago
