So it seems like maybe you aren't so sure you believe in doom, you are just hoping for it.

It's doom either way, non?  --If we become able to keep going "as we are," we guarantee runaway earth warming, and environmental decimation not just of Montana but of the whole USA and the World in our consumer hunger.  --And if we aren't able to keep going "as we are," there will be a bottleneck time of ugly consequences for sure; what civilization has ever survived the collapse of its energy base?  I think there'll be big die-back, but not die-off (extinction of the human species), so --past the bottleneck-- there will be a new day (very different from, and perhaps saner than today because it will be less all-consuming than the current arrangement we have created).
