For the past year, Rob Hopkins, co-ordinator of the Kinsale Energy Descent Action Plan, permaculture activist and producer of www.TransitionCulture.org, has been looking into the concept of Energy Descent Planning in preparation of the Transition Town Totnes initiative and as part of an MSc at Plymouth University. ASPO’s Colin Campbell has said of the resulting dissertation: “Far from it being a doomsday message, we are left with a sense of real hope that a more benign age may follow the oil-based excesses of the present world”. You can support Rob in his work by buying a copy here.
