Pavane for a Dead Princess

Not Anna Nicole but Ghawar and most other sources of oil. Peak oil has arrived. The death knell of an oil based delusion is the reverberation of the unsustainability of the present system and the clarion call for the birth of a cooperative sustainable system. Alternative energy sources can't create the same quantity of fuel that powers our present expectations, we will have to use what we have in more efficient ways that serve social needs for public transportation, power grids and shipping. That will require public ownership.
