I agree completely with his forecasts on the economics of energy. But if I am wrong, cheap, abundant energy will lead to unprecedented ecological collapse. More energy to muck up this worse than we already have? That's a chilling thought.

Umm electricity and hyrogen and all mass moder economies need a mass easily moveable base of energy to run dude. That is what fossil fues do. The only thing that could replace it is fusion power, good luck with that.

Kunstler writes primarily about aesthetics and energy. His work on the former is brilliant, hysterically funny, profound and poetic, but I disagree completely with his forecasts on the economics of energy. Energy is all around us, we just arent very good at capturing and storing it...not yet! Remember, it actually costs 75% less to run a city car on electricity...in cents per mile.

The USSR collapsed because it failed to take human greed into account. Conversely, our undoing will be predicated on greed run rampant. This is exactly what Kunstler is taking about: our built environment is "not worth caring about" because it was "fabricated" with only one thing in mind - money.

I'd like to recommend the movie "Manufactured Landscapes" to you and everyone else interested in this clip. It's a masterpiece. Peace.

That's right, but why is everyone so blind to it?? It's maddening.
