Welcome to Lino’s Place
That’s me - sitting in my
office - probably working on my latest project. Im very concerned about the
state of the world and spend way too much time trying to work out a way that
I can help move towards a sustainable society. Unfortunately, most of
society lives in a dream world where everything is great as they sleepwalk
towards catastrophe. This site is aimed at informing those that wish to
wake up, and help society evolve from where it is now onto a more sustainable
path. My aim is to help people understand the big picture, rather than
just the part of it that they are informed about. For all its faults, I
believe that democratic government is the best system humanity has yet
devised to deal with the problems we have created for ourselves and the only
one where ordinary citizens can have their say. The quality of
democratic government is totally dependant on the quality of understanding of
the electorate. I hope that this site is helpful in promoting better
understanding of the issues of the day. New: My submission to the Australian Government Energy White Paper consultation process: Maintaining Our Prosperity

learned individuals involved in studying and reporting the Peak Oil situation
