Permanently remove one of the inputs.
Damn, that sounds drastic.
Seems like we're in for a rough ride.

Just as war drives invention a near end to oil would drive new fuel.
I too am unafraid of the end of oil, right now we could run the world on natural gas.
Poirot we know what you say is right, but man will not live in caves wrapped in animal skins again.
Growth may not be good but it is unstoppable, at present.
Oil will be replaced one day,we can then fight about what replaces it running out.

Anthonyve, the whole Japanese nuclear debacle could have been avoided
if they had built those stations on the west coast instead.
The plate junctions are to the east of Japan so no large tsunamis are
likely from the west, but then that is hindsight.

aaarrrggghhh, should have said unlikely from the west, but that is hindsight.

Belly,

I don't think man will live in caves wrapped in animal skins in the future. However, I'm inclined to think that he will be forced at some juncture to fall back on technologies from the past. It doesn't mean he loses civilisation.

Poirot I understood, maybe I get a bit lost.
Had Friends once who sold a great home to go bush.
They left first one then a second and better warm comfy home in nice village then township.
To live in a shed on 160 bush acres, heavy timber their dream!
Fire a log for cooking all that, I had no choice as a kid, they did, they now live in a flat! bit sorry they ever went Ferrel.
Bazz yes you are right.
Nuclear should never have been used there, BUT THEY KNEW! still know! cash over rules safety.
But we could do it should do it, BUT ONLY GOVERNMENT others can not be trusted.
