Preparing for the end of Cheap Energy

We all know it's coming, and there is likely no chance to stop it. Write your congressman and all that, but this blog is about SURVIVING through and THRIVING throughout the end of cheap energy. Let's toss in global warming, economic upheaval, and various other major calamities facing civilization.

Where is the mainstream media?

Something that has been bugging me - where in the hell is the mainstream media about all this? They may be the only ones who can realistically do anything to mitigate the calamities that are to come.

I'll tell you where those bastards are - right in GW's hip pocket. It's the only thing that makes sense: "You're right Mr. President, we can't upset the American public by letting our reporters talk about the end of cheap energy (or insert any other major crisis that's upon us)."

Want to prepare for the end of cheap energy? I say shut off your mainstream media and find your news elsewhere. As things progress, the mainstream media will only become more and more of a pawn to the government. There are lots of alternatives:
- Blogs
- Independent news sites
- News aggregators (e.g. www.newshub.com)
- Independent news papers, programs, and other sources

Good question.

Here is a late comer's answer.

MSM news is just a fancy info-mercial.
Producing MSM news costs $$$$$.
The $$$$ comes from advertisers.

Who are the advertisers?
Car companies.
More car companies.

Which one of these is about to permit their hand puppets to inform the masses about PO?

Besides, they wouldn't believe it anyway. People don't like doom & gloom news. CNN did a We Were Warned segment. Where did it take them? No one watched. Oil=boring. Britney Spears=conversation piece.

p.s. good to see there are young people in the Bay Area who are PO aware.
