"Since the world is finite, there is a good chance that at some point we are going to have to get along with less electricity as well as less oil. Instead of focusing on delaying the inevitable,

perhaps we should start thinking about preparing people for simpler lives that use less energy of all types.

Such an approach might solve multiple problems at once-too much CO2, too little oil, and too little capital to tackle all the problems that need to be tackled at once."
