Over the past century, we have used the stored energy of millions of years of sunlight - in the form of oil, coal, and natural gas - to create the marvels and miracles essential to modern life. But now the cheap fossil-fuels fiesta is ending, climate change is upon us, and our models of global industry, commerce, food production, and transportation may not survive. Industrial civilization is in big trouble, and the american people are sleepwalking into a future of hardship and turbulence....................we will endure a grueling contest over the world's remaining oil resources. Epidemic disease and faltering agriculture will synergize with energy scarcities to send nations reeling--and reaching aggressively for the means for survival. Desperation at home and a vanishing middle class may provoke extremist politics in american that were previously unimaginable...........The book/The Long Emergency/James Howard Kunstler
