there’s a focus on [[peak oil]] — I had almost forgotten about the concept. is it happening? I get the feeling peak oil is always in the imminent future but we keep missing deadlines.
I’m personally interested in the digital aspects of such projects — in particular as they become networked.
It seems to me the internet makes virtual transition towns possible, and perhaps useful as a metaphor, although I wonder what the people actually involved on actual transition towns would think of this idea (as the focus seems to be on local development and sustainability).
