Thats more of this guy's legs than I ever cared to see, but nice to know he's not all doom and gloom. Its important to think about what we might do without cheap energy. His and others' works have led me to develop a bit of a backup plan- good interview!

ZZZ...this video is a bummer :^( I am the one with the cheesedoodle in my head for watching this...

This is sad. For I thought the long emergency guy had a clue, and I like the chick. But they, and most of you who are reading this are DOOMED, as am I. I'll give you an example of Kunstlers ignorance. He equates burning wood with burning coal in terms of their carbon impact. This is totally wrong. Wood is recycled carbon, coal is sequestered carbon. The difference is, burning wood does not increase the carbon in the atmosphere, burning coal does. If he does not know that, what does he know?

Can you provide a link that further explains this comparison? I consider myself energy literate, but I confess cannot follow without further explanation. Thanks.

Thank you, Kris, for this revealing interview from Kunstler's meth-lab lair. The orange powdered conclusion was seriously baked. When you're done with "World Made by Hand", try to find a copy of John Seymour's "Retrieved from the Future." That book (and most of his others) be da post-oil sh1t.

Your films are great.

Yeah, my Mac-Daddy Pimp Mobile runs on Cheeze-Dooble-Magic-Diesel.... No seriously, spooky I just finished a bag of cheeze doodles (4.5 ozs), right before watching this! I never eat cheeze doodles!

JHK does like to have his fun. Thanks for these posts, KrisCan.
