essential reading: david holmgren’s new future scenarios website.
some good quotes from the site:
> There is a huge body of evidence that the next energy transition will not follow the pattern of recent centuries to more concentrated and powerful sources. The likelihood that this transition will be to one of less energy is such an anathema to the psycho-social foundations and power elites of modern societies that it is constantly misinterpreted, ignored, covered up or derided.
> The explosion of economic activity based on financial services and information technology in the dominant economies during the early 90âs gave some credibility to this concept of the âweightless economyâ, although it is now clear that globalisation simply shifted the consumption of resources to other countries to support this growth in the service economies.
