“There are few problems which have greater potential to quickly unsettle the North American public and strain essential services than suddenly being denied access to fuel.”
— Rick Munroe, from his article, “Fuel Emergency”
“Here in the United States we’re now consuming about three gallons of petroleum per person per day. That’s twenty pounds of oil per person per day. We only consume about four pounds of oxygen per person per day. We’re consuming five times more oil each day, here in the United States than we are oxygen. We’ve become the oil tribe.”
— Randy Udall, in the film Sprawling From Grace
“Oil depletion and climate change will create an entirely new context in which political struggles will be played out. Within that context, it is not just freedom, democracy, and equality that are at stake, but the survival of billions of humans and of whole ecosystems.”
— Richard Heinberg, Powerdown
“The real problem is that we use too much oil. It’s that simple and that difficult. If we truly want to reduce our vulnerability to high prices, the best way to do so is to reduce consumption.”
— Richard Heinberg, author of Peak Everything
“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”
— Thomas Edison, 1931
