Chris Martenson for Climate One

His appearance at the Commonwealth Club last month as a part of its Climate One series; Tom Van Dyck was also a guest.

Even though I would disagree with Mr. (Dr.) Martenson on "social issues," he, like many of those who talk about Peak Oil, walks the walk. He quit his corporate job, simplified his life - he has a smaller house, grows a garden, installed solar, and so on. And he sought out a community in which to live.

Still, he was able to do this in part because he already had a supportive family and wife. How many Uhmerican women today would acquiesce to marrying a confident guy who had no real financial future but wanted to have a simple life? They might be willing to be bedded by him for the short-term, but most princesses like their things and want someone who can provide them.
