Peak energy and cultural fragmentation
Damien Perrotin, The View from Brittany

Last week, I went to Paimpol with my girlfriend to attend the Sailor Songs Festival...As we were strolling along the wharves amidst a joyful crowd, she told me me “we're no longer in France”. The fact that the greater part of what makes the region so un-french is fairly recent does not make her remark less pertinent. In fact it makes it even more so as it highlights a particularly important factor in the coming energy descent : cultural differentiation.
