We are not prepared…

Thanks to my friend Shooperman, I came to take the Peak Oil Crisis and the Dollar Crisis seriously. The Dollar Crisis might be averted, since it is fundamentally a man-made crisis. On the other hand, the Peak Oil Crisis will happen without doubt, just a matter of sooner vs later.

Singapore, where I live, is especially vulnerable to the impacts of these crises, since we depend on imports for almost everything that matters: food, oil, natural gas. While various countries are starting to implement measures to get themselves prepared, there are only very slight mention of the crises in Singapore. The bottom line is “We are not prepared”, and I hope something can be done to raise awareness to get enough people to be concerned enough for something to be done. Time is running out, and we’d better get our acts together now.
