Attending a DOE Energy Seminar Tomorrow-Need Best Peak Oil Websites
Tomorrow I am attending a seminar/lecture on US energy strategy by a DOE policy wonk. I plan to listen attentively for as long as my worried mind and big mouth can stand it. Ultimately these things devolve into lectures of, "How to keep it going using different Big Ideas", rather than dramatically altering our energy intensive ways of living on Earth. If that occurs the words of Oscar Wilde will echo in my brain, "At times like these it becomes not only ones moral obligation to speak out, it becomes a pleasure", and speak out I shall.

In that spirit I wish to make a list of 10 to 15 Peak Oil sites, run a one page copy off and then make multiple copies of that page to distribute to attendees. Looking for some suggestions.

4. Here are some websites
Author James Howard Kunstler has been writting about the unsustainable addiction to oil and the automobile in this country for over 10 years. He has said that no mixture of alternative energy will be able to keep our nation going as it is now. Here is his website http://www.kunstler.com/. Kunstler has a weekly article he posts and here is a link to that... http://www.kunstler.com/mags_diary13.html. He just released a book called The Long Emergency (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=ox7eYmMBBq&isbn=0871138883&itm=1)

Here is a great site that has a lot of information about Peak Oil: http://www.globalpublicmedia.com/

A few more good websites:
http://www.postcarbon.org/
http://peakoilaction.org/

A movie about Peak Oil: http://www.endofsuburbia.com/

I haven't checked this site out much: http://www.museletter.com/

5. Found these on another website I visit
I just wanted to throw out some links for anyone wanting more info....

Check this out, looks like economy is gonna take a shit in about 4-6 months if trends dont change fast. http://money.cnn.com/2005/04/27/news/economy/gdp_walkup/index.htm

A very good resouce for things going on in the world of peak oil - http://energybulletin.net/

tonight on cspan at 9 cst (I think), Republican Congressman from MD speaks peak oil, this will be his 3rd presentation to the house. If you get a chance to read the transcript of the previous meetings, he understands the problem (not fully, he's a little optimistic IMO) and is bringing it to the table. http://www.bartlett.house.gov/

Guess what we did yesterday? - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7658949/ - and after you read that one, read this one and see how much msnbc.com is leaving out... also, cnn.com has absoultly NOTHING about it. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/AA10F81F-9924-4B0D-8E61-8B0F1FF4FDFD.htm
