Toto,
This is not my work at all but rather appears to be that of one Jack Coleman as posted in the link I provided above.
I agree that it is a great idea to make a Declaration Independence, which is why I posted the link and some of the initial text. But no kudos to me. Give it up for Jack.
Thxs for responding. No problem here, Full Credit to Jack Coleman. If we could somehow get the biosolar habitat idea rolling, I think thousands of Peakoilers will sell everything they have for a chance to relocate to these Powerdown areas. I know I would ASAP. Just imagine living a 'Tuscan' lifestyle as hypothesized by Jeff Vail's EnergyBulletin link:
http://energybulletin.net/14902.html
I encourage all TODers to study his article. I think even Kunstler would agree that this is the better alternative to continuing our present paradigm. I feel strongly that this should be the direction of future 'truthful discourse'. Secession of the NE & NW US does not require that all the unwashed masses have to understand Peakoil; it provides a political mechanism for those that do to isolate themselves from those that will never give up their 'addiction'. Time will tell if we can incorporate Entropy into our lifestyles.
