Ah the suburbs! That wonderful, clean, and perfect place where we all aspire to live! Well kids, there’s trouble in paradise. You see, there is this thing called sustainability…and it’s going to pose a real challenge to modern American living real soon.
Suburban living came into great popularity just after WWII when we made 85Ga-Trillion-Zillion dollars kicking Nazi Germany’s ass and building the worlds most badass war machine this planet has ever seen. What a great time to live…we kicked serious fucking ass AND everybody loved us! You see, back then gas was 25 cents a gallon, a buck went alot further, and a family of 4 could live from the income of dear old dad…mom could stay home raise the snot-gobblers.
Shit has really changed since then, and suburbia is about to feel the oil shortage in a big way. I’m not writing this to point the finger at our retarded politicians, or the wasteful nature of my fellow Americans, but rather to say that sustainability isn’t just some obscure hippy shit, its very fucking real.
The oil industry laughed at Dr. Hubbert when he predicted that America would reach peak oil production by 1970-71. Sadly, he was right: http://www.hubbertpeak.com/hubbert/
Dr. Hubbert only looks crazy…This fucker knew his shit!
Anyway…doom and gloom is so popular and grabs peoples attention like nothing else…but this shit is going down…as sure as Dr. Hubbert could give fuck all about a comb.
