Human civilization will be much smaller and simpler after the age of fossil fuel. This doesn't have to be terrible if we accept it and move wisely. We're not getting that pony for Christmas that we wanted. But maybe we can get a new bike.
But I don't want a pony. I want a Shawyer M-drive Art-Deco electric rocket.
