If you had not already been concerned about our over-reliance on cheap fossil fuels, consider yourself informed. This is a call for you to take action.  

If you are inclined to action now or wondering what you can, take action!

If you are not ready to do anything now, we suggest that you define a trigger point for yourself.  In other words, figure what indicators you think might signal that this peak oil stuff is for real such as oil prices and gasoline prices.  Pick a trigger point that you feel is personally significant for you (e.g., gasoline @ $4/gallon) and write it down.  From now on, follow that indicator on a periodic basis (e.g., weekly).  If your trigger point is exceeded, keep your word to yourself and spring into action.
