I think that most people don't know what to do, they just cant face it and just bury their heads in the sand like ostriches instead of trying to face the harsh reality, this will only make things worse.
By 1015 that is in 5 years the impact of oil shortage will be dire and the consequence in the west will be very painful compared with the poor farmer in Africa that will not feel the difference. Its interesting to note that for once the rich will be punished.
So what to do? First realize that "they" want to keep us in our lala land as long as possible so that they can squeeze every last dollar out of us and then leave us in such a world of shit that they will buy everything up for nothing.
1) Do not trust paper money it will be worth nothing invest in real estate, buy real gold and anything that was valuable during the II world war.
2)I am not pro weapon but when the shit hits the fan a shot gun can protect your family so get a hunting rifle...I know everyone will say I am paranoiac... but I would answer better safe than sorry.
3)When things get ugly the city become very dangerous and mobs can easily get out of control so having a place in the country to retreat to is a good idea.
4) Imagine the price of energy (electricity, petrol) would multiply by 10 how would you fair? invest in anything that can save energy, hybrid car or electrical car, low power electrical appliances including led lighting, diversify energy source for example having dual gas electrical cooker, Pay back loans.
5) Choose your job well, consider issues like geographical location, distance from home, if your job sector will be more or less hit by the oil crisis, what kind of contract you have for example a bicycle manufacturer will probably do well or solar panel installer :)
6) Vote for political parties that address the issue.
7) Buy local, by that I mean reinforce your local economy by changing the way you buy, support companies or commerce which is local i.e. stop buying Chinese.
8) Spend your vacation in your own country go there by train.
9) Produce electricity and sell it back to your local utility company solar or wind is easy to set up, even subsidized in certain countries.
Conclusion: Don't wait act now!
