Subject: Peak Oil, recognized by the Nation Geographic magazine, History Channel & Smithsonian magazine as a future food shortage event all should know about. From: A Former Missouri Army National Guard Officer/BS & MS Engineering. New technologies are pushing back the predictions of when Peak Oil will occur. Executive Summary: The 43 second movie trailer on the National Geographic Website http://natgeotv.com/ca/2210-thecollapse/videos/collapse-of-earth The movie is FREE on YouTube; "National Geographic Collapse" What Can I Do?; 1A. Garden with sustainable agriculture techniques (less pesticides and fertilizer (organic or better yet permaculture with companion planting)). 1B. Learn to preserve, and learn the spoil dates of different storage conditions, learn how to check for spoilage (includes give a little to one healthy person, if they don't get sick...give more to another...if they don't get sick your next action depends on multiple factors). 2. Buy food and manufactured goods made locally 3. Pay down debt 4. Learn skills they will be useful in the future and make friends that have useful skills you don't have (related to providing food, water, shelter, and medical care. A necessary skill is organic/permaculture gardening/farming). Very important: medicinal plant and medical skills are the best way to ensure your survival. All others will gladly sacrifice their life to protect your life, so you are around to use your medical knowledge to keep their families alive.

I suggest investing some money into; A. Technologies to increase the "Carrying Capacity" of the planet; 1. Decrease environmental impact per capital. 2. Alternatives for our food system input to improve production. 3. Alternatives to our current living arrangements. 4. Alternatives to our plastics industry. 5. Alternatives to disaster capitalism (Note: the USSR and China have major human caused environmental disaster areas). B. "Delaying Technologies"; 1. i.e. deep drilling technologies (especially drilling 1 mile below sea level in the oceans). C. "Game Changer Technologies"; 1. i.e. Cold fusion energy. D. "Savior Technologies": 1. i.e. faster-than-light travel. 2. Replicator booths. 6. I also recommend you inform and prepare your family, friends, and others. It is best to initially suggest people have an emergency kit... for any emergency such as flood, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, loss of electricity due to a winter storm. Then, if the friend or relative puts together a disaster kit, what I do is introduce Peak Oil (by telling them of the 43 second movie trailer); 7. For the truly motivated, a community based organization to mitigate Climate Change and Peak Oil is http://www.transitionus.org/ (For non USA; HYPERLINK "https://transitionnetwork.org/" https://transitionnetwork.org/) Google 1) "2052" free Book summary download; 2) "Plan C"; See the Facebook page: "National Geographic Collapse movie"; Never give up, your families' lives are at stake! worldwide deaths at 7 out of 8 should die. I believe it is best to consider living between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains well away from the southern coast and especially away from Central America. Consider the northern Midwest US where you have access to water (and the locals will accept you). Avoid being near nuclear reactors since the government may not pay to shut them down. Note; many rich in the US are stockpiling resources in New Zealand flee there. Think the Middle Ages, I hope and pray we still have a Constitution. We will have better knowledge if we can retain it. Read your history, it will repeat! Important Note: New technologies are pushing back the predictions that could not have anticipated what new technologies would be invented, when each would be invented and how effective each would be. A permanent World financial collapse will occur prior to Peak Oil/Plateau Population. This will be far worse than the worldwide Depression. Those in the know will know that the financial collapse will never reverse. The rich will become warlords or kings. Hopefully it will be understood that a form of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights will be needed to help prevent a warlord/king from being overthrown. Crucial Survival Information; Faith and Hope are essential in tough times!
