Galetiva Asks "Whose Job is it Anyway?":

The Association for the Study of Peak Oil, more commonly known as ASPO, had their Truth in Energy Conference earlier this month. One of the speakers was Angelina Galetiva, the founder of Renewables 100, a renewable energy policy institute. Her talk was summarized in a post on the highly esteemed Oil Drum.


As recounted in The Oil Drum, Galetiva ended her talk with a poem of sorts, or maybe we should call it a little fable:


This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done.
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it.
But Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody
When Nobody did what Anybody could have done.



The fable speaks for itself, of course.

I've been reducing my consumption of energy, I ride my bicycle to work, heat my home with a pellet stove and now I'm in the process of going solar on a relatively small scale. What are you doing to help with the transition away from fossil fuels?
