"The endless growth of suburbia is based on cheap oil. Supermarkets are based on cheap oil. Where once we all walked to the local shop, instead we drive, millions of us. Industrial agriculture with its high fossil fuel inputs in the form of energetically expensive to produce nitrogen fertilizers and insecticides are a product of cheap oil. Those apples in the supermarket in February from New Zealand are a result of cheap oil. The current stage of capitalism is based on cheap oil."
