Interesting. I have listened to Kunstler a couple of times, the last time was couple of years ago. As I recall, he was the epitome of Mr Gloom and Doom. I kinda lost interest in him after that. That he has come out now with his disclaimer tells me that I am not the only one who came away with the opinion that he had no solutions to offer.
Briefly glancing at his list one thing that strikes me is that he doesn't think that advances in science and technology will be a key factor in weaning away from oil dependence. IMO, what needs to happen (and will happen) is transformation not a throwback to some older simpler age.
