Where should we be putting our mitigation priorities?

by Gail Tverberg from The Oil Drum. She finds three strategies for coping with the descent of energy availability and assesses the effectiveness of each. At this website I often find the non-technical articles and the following comments very stimulating. The people who participate on this site are mostly highly trained people in the sciences and technology. One might argue that they have a "trained incapacity" to look at issues from a social/political point of view. Hence they rarely mention any social and political changes that might be useful to prevent problems posed by peak oil and climate change. Nevertheless I find this article of considerable interest.
