A Friendly Piece of Advice That May, Or May Not, Save Civilization

An astoundingly under-covered piece of news occurred yesterday at the Detroit Motor Show:
"The world's biggest car maker, General Motors, believes the global oil supply has peaked and a switch to electric cars is inevitable."

If you are unfamiliar with the peak oil theory now would be the time to acquaint yourself with it.
When all is said and done, you don't have to believe in it, but you'd be an absolute fool not to at least understand what it's all about.
This is the best place I can think of to start. If you are extremely skeptical, you might want to skip the first chapter.
Even if guys like Kunstler are wrong, there is definitely something to learn as the price of oil has just recently reached an all time high and all signs point to not slowing down.
