Peak Oil
Can you imagine… As oil production around the world diminishes due to the decrease of easily-accessible oil sources, gas prices rise on a daily — if not hourly — basis. As people contemplate their lives without oil, without cheap gasoline, without fertilizers or plastics, how will they react? When food prices soar due to the increased costs of production and transportation, the peaceful fabric of society may begin to unravel more quickly than science and technology are able to bring us economical and feasible alternatives to fossil fuels. When middle and lower class families are unable to afford to commute to work or buy food, we will likely see more and larger instances of looting, then rioting, and then… where will it end? Will your family be safe in a world that no longer conforms to normal societal constraints due to being surrounded by violence and chaos?
The solution?
The Resort at Forest Haven. If the peaceful fabric of society unravels and ultimately tears apart, we have safety, security, and stability. We have multiple ways of producing electrical power. We have a wide range of fuels stored as well as ample stores of water, food, and pharmaceuticals. We have the ability to maintain communication, transportation, and commerce. We have amber fields of grain, bountiful orchards and vineyards… We have everything your family and friends need to be completely self-sufficient and at the same time, maintain the high standard of living you and yours are accustomed to.

- In the face of the basic fact that fossil fuel reserves are finite, the exact length of time these reserves will last is important in only one respect: The longer they last, the more time we have to invent ways of living off renewable or substitute energy sources and to adjust our economy to the vast changes which we can expect from such a shift.
— Hyman Rickover
- Some predict an oil price of $300 by 2050 [over 4 times the current price]. Others project an even faster price rise…

- We’re at peak oil, peak water, peak resources, and so either we figure it out and let science lead or we head down a very bad, dark trail to where a lot of people aren’t going to make it.

- Fossil fuels, including oil, are running out and supplies are getting harder to find. If we do nothing, prices will continue to rise and our reliance on oil will come to an abrupt and tumultuous end, causing global economic and social turmoil.
— Lucy Powell
