Sep 22: Confab #62
This show has been in the vault for more than three months. Rachele, Sara, Ben, Melissa, and I tackle James H Kunstler's book, The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America's Man-Made Landscape. You have to ask yourself how a society as advanced as the United States can happily squander our future on a lifestyle that is so obviously unsustainable. Cheap fossil fuels have enabled suburban and rural sprawl to a degree that we may not be able to divest ourselves of it quick enough to survive. Fuel costs have and will increase. Not by 10% or 30%, but by 400% or 10,000%. Yet, we continue to primarily waste the precious resource on commuting between our low-density communities and our necessarily high-density work places.
This show was recorded during the September 18, 2008 Confab.
