I tried to engage some vocal locals with Rob Hopkin's transition town work a few years ago but it was hard to muster and maintain interest, and I had my own problems with depression back then (several years of studying peak oil will do that :-)
Energy descent planning and Ted Trainer's work on The Simpler Way are important but maintaining a focused interest among many disparate people is difficult in this machine age with it's many distractions and obligations.
It will likely take a severe event to focus that mindset.
