Oil makes the world go round.

Richard Heinberg, a Godfather of the Peak Oil believers (like me) explains the roller coater ride of the last 6 months for us here. The news and updates section of Lifeaftertheoilcrash.net is an amazingly valuable resource for getting a well rounded perspective - the MSM, as we know, will only ever report the tip of any iceberg, and then often slowly. Knowledge of the twin issues of energy politics and global warming is essential if one wants to understand almost everything else. Visit Lifeaftertheoilcrash whenever you can - and read the rest of the news.

And a reminder - read Lynne's post directly below. We all need inspiration.
