[Peakoil] Implementing peak oil plans

[Andrew Wynberg]

Hello all

The point of the Transition Towns handbook, and the SEE Change movement, is 
theat local communities are the people who implement the plans, not the 
government.

The paradigm at play here is to develop a model, run a real-world pilot, and 
then the model gets picked up by other local communities.  When it looks 
like being a runaway success, only then will government appear interested.

The $64 point is that action occurs despite the government, independent of 
the government.  I think it has been shown over the past 30 years that the 
government is the place to go if you want something stopped. :-)

Cheers
Andrew Wynberg
