Inventing for the Sustainable Planet has a
link available to an interview with Matt Savinar, the author of
The Age of Oil is Over (mentioned in a comment below). I'm really torn on the ideas Savinar presents, at least on his
website advertising the book. It would be easy to label him "Chicken Little," but there's a strong line of logic behind his argument that our dependence on oil is so deeply rooted that nothing short of economic collapse will shake us out of it. Check it out for yourself, and let me know what you think, either way...
