		<description><![CDATA[Richard Heinberg, as knowledgeable a Peak Oil teacher as we have, and by personality apparently disinclined to be overly dramatic, is nonetheless offering some sobering thoughts about our future.
“Economic growth as we have known it is over and done with.
“The “growth” we are talking about consists of the expansion of the overall size of the [...]]]></description>
