Congressman backs post-oil planning: Thompson says Willits can set national example
by Claudia Reed

"We can't keep going the way we've been going," said Congressman Mike Thompson. "That's a no brainer."

Speaking during Mondays meeting with local officials and members of the Willits Economic LocaLization (WELL) group, Thompson was referring to an economy based on insatiable consumption of fossil fuels. The United States, he said, comprises about 6 percent of the worlds population, but consumes at least 25 percent of its oil, most of which is imported.
