| 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?

| Still farming, but for how long? |
|
 Clifford Wells expects to receive 3 cents a pound more on his tobacco crop this year than he did last year.
Problem is, Wells is spending twice as much on fuel for his farm vehicles and nearly triple for fertilizer on the 320 acres he farms in Carter County where he grows tobacco, raises beef cattle and the corn and hay to feed them.
“I’m just trying to keep my head above water,” said Wells, 43, who lives on a farm which has been in his family for four generations. “But I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.”
