The Petrofuture of Marin County...

Once you get past the freeways and strip malls, Marin can be idyllic, but just across the bay in Richmond...oof, the scene is ugly with refineries.

The Petrofuture maps show 66m of sea level rise layered on top of vintage gas station maps. This one uses an old map.

The vintage base maps invoke nostalgia, but nostalgia is a dead end that delays needed change, and will lead to disaster.
