David Holmgren on Energy Descent…
Global Public Media have just posted a talk by the great David Holmgren, the co-founder of permaculture, just after Hurricane Katrina, which explores peak oil, energy descent and permaculture. He sets out the history of the permaculture movement, its place in the larger sustainability movement, the concept of energy descent and our options forward from here. David is really at the cutting edge of thinking about solutions to peak oil and energy descent, his approach is practical, and his solutions are realistic, positive, but also address the profundity of the challenge. David has been a huge inspiration to my work, do have a listen.
