BUSINESS AS USUAL IS NOT IN THE CARDS.  MUDDLING THROUGH IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH MEDICINE.  WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, THERE WILL BE MAJOR REARRANGEMENTS IN THE WORLD ECONOMY.  IT WOULD BE MORE ORDERLY IF WE WERE TO GENERATE A BLUEPRINT FOR A SOCIETY CONSTRAINED BY THE AVAILABLITY OF RESOURCES.  THEN WE WOULD NEED A NON-CATASTROPHIC PATHWAY THAT TAKES US FROM HERE TO THAT BLUEPRINT.  WELCOME TO THE POST-HUBBERT WORLD - THAT WORLD BEYOND OIL.
