The goal is to educate Michigan about peak oil, its
possible consequences, and solutions to ensure future prosperity.
In 2006, my goal is to establish the necessary structure and resources
to accomplish this goal. Education about
peak oil is not sufficent to ensure prosperity. The people need to
also understand the various possible consequences of peak oil
producation as well as declining global production. Michigan needs
to develop internal systems and capacity to provide security, water,
food, heat, electricty, clothing, shelter, transportation and purpose to
its people.
As Michigan works toward self-sustaining internal
systems, it will grow its economy, as money circulates rapidly within
Michigan's borders, motivating action for the people, and serving as a
role model for other states and nations.
