What do you think of the Hydrogen Highway, and should it have such a hold on public consciousness?

What do you think is the most effective means of increasing the typical American consumer's understanding of their environmental responsibilities?

How do we take a mass culture of blind consumers, almost completely devoid of any earthly connection, who treat the planet as if it were their personal garbage bin, and create one that understands the deep interconnected nature of all life on this peopling planet of ours and is willing to make the necessary personal sacrifices so that it might continue lifing into the distant future?

Thank you for your latest book. I am a big fan.

In "The Long Emergency", you state that you have not taken extreme measures to shield yourself from the upcoming oil shortages. You have identified learning a non-oil related trade and riding your bike as actions that you have already taken.

If you were to identify, say, 5-10 more actions that an individual/community might take right now, what would they be?

What is your view of Green Capitalism? The model for economic/ecological change proposed by people like Paul Hawken, and put into practice by companies like Interface .

Do you think that transformative cultural change can come from the free marketplace that largely created our current situation, or must political change precipitate economics?

In your article you were very pessimistic of the future of alternative fuels. I certainly do agree with you on the hydrogen front. I don't see the technology to effectively isolate the element without putting in more energy than is embodied in the final product. But, there are alternative that are currently successful or will become viable when petroleum goes to $100 a barrel - such as wind and bio diesel. Can you elaborate on the potential inhibitors you see to those technologies not being practical in the future? Thank you for your insight

I'd just like to hear your two cents on tidal power. Could it be the "holy grail" of energy if we can solidify an efficient means of capturing it in the near future?

In The Long Emergency, you write extensively about entropy. You write that things to do not fall apart "at once" because "the flow of entropy faces obstructions or constraints" and then conclude in the same paragraph that "Efficiency is the straightest path to hell". I agree completely, but also think that the entropy argument implies that America and the rest of the world will have a soft landing from the cheap oil fiesta instead of a hard crash. This follows because as our hyper-efficient society begins to break down, more "obstructions or constraints" will slow the flow of entropy. Similarly, the hot cup of coffee doesn't instantly get cold but slowly cools over time.

However, in the last chapter of "The Long Emergency" and in interviews you imply that the crash will come fast and hard. Specifically, in an interview you stated that George W. Bush will be impeached before the end of his term due to anger over peak oil consequences. How do you resolve this apparent contradiction? Do you foresee a hard crash or soft landing from the cheap oil fiesta?

Thank you very much.

Pardon my ignorance, but where are Kunstler's answers to the readers' questions? i.e., How do I find them? (Or are the readers' questions not yet ansered?). Thanks
