NOTE: The following excerpt and link are to a critical article for anyone concerned with energy and social futures.
"[T]he energy crisis is due not to the exhaustion of fossil fuels by itself, but to a system that is poorly adapted to the characteristics of the biosphere, from which it cannot escape. The energy crisis is not external to our socioeconomic system. Rather, it is a consequence of that system."
