What impacts might you expect on your lifestyle once our society arrives at peak oil?

In this discussion, let’s explore traditional energy sources versus alternative, renewable energy sources. What impacts might you expect on your lifestyle once our society arrives at peak oil? What steps do you think we should take to avoid energy shortages in a post-peak-oil future? Which type of alternative energy sources should our nation consider and promote? Is it possible to transition to purely renewable energy sources? What are the implications and hidden costs of using renewable energy sources? Research at least 2 different energy sources that the USA have successfully implemented and share the pros and cons of these energy sources. How can the USA improve on the technology to harness and deliver these energy sources on a national level and reduce dependency on traditional energy sources?
