| 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?

| High Heating Oil Prices Signal Need For Migration |
|
 The poorer folks in New Hampshire are worrying over how they'll keep warm in the next winter. Modest proposal: move to dwellings which cost less to heat.
With the average price of heating oil at $4.53 a gallon, and the average use in New Hampshire about 800 gallons of oil each winter, a pre-buy contract can cost as much as $4,000.
The price of heating oil could hit $5 or more this winter. Poor folks in cold states won't be able to afford it. Agencies that provide tax-funded heating oil aid will get far more applications while at the same time existing claimants will want more money to pay for the higher prices. Some people are going to get really cold.
