That would be lovely, I agree. It is something to aspire to - but back in the real world, it aint ever gonna happen - sadly.

I completely disagree with that. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it is 100% certain that the changes I wrote about will occur.

The choice is not whether or not we will transition to a low-energy society. That choice doesn't exist. It will happen as we further draw down available energy resources. The only choice we have is how we go about it.

It can be done willingly, by actively directing our resources towards creating a sustainable society. This way will minimise the suffering and disruption that the transition will cause.

Alternatively, we can deny that the transition is necessary and spend all of our time and resources postponing the inevitable. By doing this, we are probably greatly increasing the total amount of disruption and suffering, as well as reducing the likelihood of even achieving the transition successfully.
