    It is about culture not energy

    Andrew wrote "What I find odd is seeing a culture war break out in the middle of an energy crisis."

    But the current peak oil phenomena has little to do with energy and much more to do with culture. The phrase 'death of suburbia' is more goal than prediction, and Kunstler more Jim Jones then anything rational.

    Thanks James, but I'll skip your kool-aid.
