Petitio principii, my good man. Hogwash, for those who don't care for
Latin. Global economies won't collapse when we run out of oil any more than
they collapsed when we stopped burning whales or wood.

That said, it sounds like an interesting course. Pricey, but interesting.
I've found that it's easier to work with nature than against it. With any
luck they'll keep it to practicalities and minimize the Green Politics.
