Both Jay Hanson and Tom Wayburn have submitted plans for political change to mitigate the worst effects of Peak Oil and save the world from Dieoff. Some time ago when they were friends, they both agreed to "die with their boots on" - as the saying goes. Since then, Jay has expelled Tom from some of his groups and Tom has resigned from the rest. This post deals with their differences and why Wayburn considers Hanson's plan infeasible as a permanent solution unless it evolves into Wayburn's plan.
