Massive Fail

There can be one major redeeming factor in the current chaos - an openness to seeing the world as it IS and to move forward in a way that is different than before and which might give us a chance.

That way forward is NOT oil, "clean coal" or any other carbon-polluting climate-toxic dwindling fuel.  

If Peak Oil doesn't get discussed then the way forward will be DOA because using the old carbon energy will not solve the economic woes. They may make it out the gate but they will be sheared off at the knees as the approach the first turn on what will be an epic race down the peak slope.

By choosing the Blue Pill, the problem remains and looms and continues to hurt our present and future.

Unless EVERYONE understands and "gets" Peak Oil as a current concern, then the needed New Fuels New Deal will not happen and vast sums of money will be (are being) wasted on propping up pre-collapse companies, business models, economies, all of which can not survive or thrive as we are all forced to power-down.

To ignore it, as Hirsch suggests, is a miscarriage of our basic responsibility as a rational humane society.
