| How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

| Fishermen say high fuel costs forcing them out of business |
|
 Alaska fishermen are hoping to catch tax breaks on two fronts: high fuel costs, and oil spill payouts (if any) from Exxon.
"We're seeing a 69% increase in fuel costs in Cordova from June of last year," said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in a phone interview after she traveled to several fishing communities. "In Dillingham the increase is 54%. In Kodiak, it's 58% over last year. Fishing families can't sustain this."
Murkowski said she is deeply troubled by the number of fishermen who tell her that high fuel costs are forcing them out of business.
