James Kunstler's Take on the Future

James Kunstler is a well respected knowledgeable observer of what to expect in the future, and his conclusions are disconcerting to say the least. It would be good to be aware of how the nation was settled and populated relative to a century ago before the start of the rise of the automobile. Basically, if one does not live within a few miles of a railroad, circumstances look to be grim for those living in distant locales far away from rail corridors and transportation. This is important not only for individual transportation, but also in respect for the transportation of raw materials, finished goods, and virtually all consumer goods.
