It was one of the books under our Christmas tree. Herr Jörg Schindler is no unknown quantity in our lives. After all, he already spoke in the IF-Forum. The transparencies of his presentation can be found on our “document” page. Or else, just click here and read or print them.
After his last book Geht uns das Erdöl aus? (Will Crude Oil Soon Cease to Flow?), which he co-authored with Werner Zittel, he wants the new book he wrote with Martin Held to be understood as a guidepost for a time after the “oil peak”, since that is the time we seem to have entered several years back.
And the book is more than just a guidepost. It shows that this new path can actually be travelled. Above all, it shows that this path is one which might even be fun. A deceleration on many levels would doubtless be beneficial for all of us.
More than anything else, the book shows that:
The fossil way of thinking is even more detrimental than fossil fuels!
I took this sentence from an advertisement of the Sarasin-Bank. It hits the nail on the head.
It would be nice if the book were to find many readers. Unfortunately, it has only just been published. Consequently, the ladies and gentlemen meeting in Copenhagen a short while ago probably had no time to read it in advance. Personally, I believe that it should be given to them as compulsory material.
Because fossil thinking seems to be really set in concrete in the brains of the allegedly so modern and innovative trend-setters.
