I have never commented on TOD before. I am an artist (BFA in Sculpture) and I do not have a background in hard science. I am primaraly here to learn from the knowledgeable folks who do have experience and understanding of the oil industry. I am delighted to see a post that is discussing relocalization. It is a very difficult to curb consumption of energey and material resources. I am a non-driver, have never owned a car or had a drivers license by choice. It is not easy, but it is posable. I see relocalization as the best hope for the human race. Unfortunately I do not think our country will move in that direction until we have no other choice. Time will tell......
Just a thought, where would you get your copper post peak? Old wires? Not a bad option really. But in all seriousness, you have stepped out of the box and not driven, you won't miss what you never had. You are a step ahead of most of us.
