In an earlier posting
Futures Forum: The Post Carbon Institute: "leading the transition"
mention was made of another website:

In 2012 Post Carbon Institute launched Resilience.org, the successor website to EnergyBulletin, intended as a resource platform for communities building local self-reliance, emphasizing community-based responses to the rapidly emerging fallout from the end of cheap fossil fuels.

Post Carbon Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Again, with some very useful resources:



Building a world of
resilient communities.
