No, I didn't speak with him---I can only wish. I've long been a fan of Kunstler's pull-no-punches social criticism, and this interview with Chris Martenson is so good that I am compelled to share it with you. Enjoy!
The Questions:
1. When will the average US citizen wake up to the perils of Peak Oil?
2. There seems to be no political will to tackle the reality of Peak Oil. What might tip that balance (before we hit the proverbial wall)?
3. If you were President and had free reign, what would be your energy plan?
4. Now take out your crystal ball. What is the most likely scenario you see playing out in global energy supplies over the next few decades?
5. The economy's a mess. What's the best possible outcome to this and how does it come about?
6. What steps are you currently taking in preparations for the upcoming “post-peak” years? What do you advise to those simply looking to protect the purchasing power of their current wealth?
7. Are you able to tell (either based on your website viewership or book sales, or from any other source) in which parts of the country/population your teachings are gaining the most traction?
8. You speak to a lot of audiences and groups. What has shifted over the years and what, if anything, gives you hope in those trends?
9. It seems inevitable that the suburbs (with 60-mile commutes) and places like LA will suffer badly in a Peak Oil future. Do you still hold the view that some regions are going to fare substantially better than others?
10. What question didn’t we ask, but should have? What’s your answer?
The Answers.
