The first paragraph of PEAK EVERYTHING WAKING UP to the CENTURY OF DECLINES by Richard Heinberg addresses that thanks to a "Higher demand, population growth and more fossil fuel extraction" oil is not the only fossil fuel that has reached its peak, others such as coal and natural gas are on the same path. As companies explode the resources and they reach to its peak this will affect many aspects of daily life including economic growth making it decrease and even political stability making the governments unreliable to its people. Important essential resources would also become less abundant including water and food. If we want to help ourselves and our home Planet Earth we must consider using less and more efficient each time start thinking about "Less, Slower and Smaller", instead of "More, Faster and Bigger".
