bicycles & wheelbarrows:
no one likes to work. since we need to learn to live within the means of the diffuse energy output of the sun(sorry thatitimout diffuse energy sources cannot replace concentrated ones) that means one must replace all the work that is done by machines that run on the concentrated energy of hundreds of millions of years(the oil we use now comes from life that lived in the permain era up to a few million years ago) of sunlight with man power of hard dirty labor. though we have been too successful and have grown past the population levels that can be sustained on such a lower power source.
birth control:
aside from political can of worms of insults and comparabilities one would be subject to by the media if one suggested it publicly, simply put less people means less power to them.
Hello TrueKaiser,
Thxs for responding. I wonder if "Jose Guerra, a former chief of economic research at Venezuela's central bank, who left Chavez's government in 2004" has been reading my TOD postings on the 'Zimbabwe Syndrome'. I would be willing to bet that coming from a big FF exporter that he is acutely Peakoil aware--maybe he is a silent lurker here on TOD. Who knows?
Regarding the birth control component of Peakoil Outreach--don't forget Leanan's recent Drumbeat toplink on Rwanda's govt making preliminary moves towards readjusting birth rate social norms. We maybe greatly surprised how quickly this might grow globally as Peakoil Outreach spreads.
