> Wir haben hier schon monate darauf gewartet. Die ami-schafe werden aber jetzt ein hartes erwachen erleben, wenn die jetzt merken was sie alles im TV gehoert haben gegen kyoto und peak-oil und die rettung der menscheit durch wasserstoff technik war bisher nur gehirnwaesche um kein panik und absturz des wall streets auszuloesen.

> Vom schutzjacke des buchs copiert:

> "The long emergency will change everything. Globalism will whither. Life will become profoundly and intensely local. The consumer economy will be a strange memory. Suburbia- considered a birthright and a reality by millions of Americans - will become untenable. We will struggle to feed ourselves. We may exhaust and bankrupt ourselves in effort to prop up the unsustainable. And finally, the United States may not hold together as a nation. We are entering an uncharted territory of history."

> "In the Long Emergency there will be no hoped-for hydrogen economy. No combination of alternative fuels will permit us to run things the way we are used to running them, or even a substantial fraction of them. We will have to downscale every activity of everyday life from farming, to schooling, to retail trade. Say farewell to easy motoring and commercial aviation. Life in the Long Emergency will be about staying where you are."

> "In the Long Emergency we will endure a grueling contest over the world's remaining oil resources. Epidemic disease and faltering agriculture will synergize with energy shortages to send nations reeling - and agressively reaching for means of survival. Depression at home and a vanishing middle class may provoke extremist politics in America that were previously unimaginable."

> "Riveting and authoritative, The Long Emergency is a startling vision of what lies ahead, bringing new urgency and accessibility to the critical issues that will shape our future, and which we can no longer afford to ignore."
