High Wycombe's Transport in Transition
 All
the evidence we have proves to us that the last 200 years of
cheap and abundant fossil fuels have supplied the energy for the
generation of a highly mobile, complex, well-fed,
inter-connected and inter-dependent industrialised societies. It
has lead to amazing economic growth, an explosion in population
and damage to our atmosphere. That period is about to come to an
end. It is not sustainable. We have over-shot. Everything is
about to change. High complexity equals high fragility. ‘Big’
and distant will break down. Small and local will last. Hence we
need to rebuild resilience into our Business Community through a
process of ‘relocalisation’.
The only alternative is to
collapse. The Business Community is the solution. The future is bright
for those who accept this paradigm change. We
have just 20 years to bring about this dramatic shift. In this
future energy and food will be highly priced and highly prized.
Everyone will be trying to generate as much of their own as
possible and rely upon the ingenuity of the Business community for
their basic economic needs & security. This is a step-change
from where we are today. Few Businessmen or women even think
beyond the next Financial Year
let alone know build a sustainable local Business less reliant
upon long distance transport or high energy product systems. We have a lot of work ahead. You cannot wait for
someone else to do it for you because it is US who have to
change. It cannot be imposed and there are no acceptable
alternatives. Accept it. Join.
