Is contraction being managed or is it just running on automatic? I stopped reading Kunstler a few years ago. Guy whines about the same stuff all the time, completely ignores retasking, offers no real solutions and ignores how the Europeans he so adores for their city design evolved that way using adaptation in place. Kunstler stopped being relevant, same as EnergyBulletin stopped being relevant.

Contraction cannot be managed without systemic and massive legal reform of both fiscal and monetary infrastructure. As a country, we either suffer through monetary inflation or recession; grow or crash. Any middle ground can be accurately described as a tightrope walk in high winds, and the winds have gotten worse since formal recision of 1933's Glass Steagal Act.
While my point refers to economics and not fuel, they are too tightly coupled to be separated. Fuel = economic growth.
