Just want to pass along a quick note and a plug (unrequested) about one of the leading lights in the Peak Oil “movement”: Richard Heinberg. (He may not wish to be identified as such, given that his role is much greater than as merely a proponent of Peak Oil, but he is nonetheless a deservedly-influential advocate in energy-related matters.)

I had the pleasure of meeting him last week as he gave a presentation in a neighboring town. He was as informed, informative, and generous with his time as I had hoped/expected.

Mr. Heinberg offers a compelling message about the challenges we face, and a solid understanding of the facts that suggest we are in for some significant changes to how we lead our lives. Anyone who has the chance to hear him speak is strongly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity.

I will be away most of these next two weeks (it’s time to re-locate our two out of state college-attending daughters), but hope to be back to multiple postings each week shortly after May 15th.
