The story is posted at energy bulletin. But I think I should mention that the speculation that neither Amos nor Steven were really speaking their minds is probably a valid one. At least Amos was holding back some of his true opinions. For examples check out this globalpublicmedia interview: http://www.globalpublicmedia.com/interviews/417 (transcript and audio). Or maybe he has been swayed back from his original positions. Who knows. I loved it anyway.

David,
Congratulations on getting your report published by Energy Bulletin.

It's tough to accurately report on 2 hours of fast paced lecturing as well as on reactions by the audience. It would be most interesting if there were some psychology majors in the audience and if they could interview fellow students on how the argumentative styles of Nur and Gorelick swayed them one way or the other.

Certainly, Gorelick was the more youthfully charasmatic and energetic of the two professors. But then again, Mother Nature is not moved by debate style.

I noticed that someone was filming the whole thing from the back of the room. Do you know if that film is going to be aired at a later date?

Good job.

 David,

I didn't know there was another group on the Peninsula discussing peak
oil.
I live close to Palo alto and would like to hear more about your gatherings.
  My wife and I are currently attending monthly Post Carbon group
meetings held in the Green Party office in South San Francisco.   We
attended the Stanford Oil Depletion lecture and were unimpressed other
than with the number of attendees.  There are a few other local
residents that would probably be interested in what your group is
doing.  

You and anyone else interested in PO are invited to the Post Carbon
Outpost meetings in South San Francisco.  I hope you will consider
attending so that the two groups can exchange ideas on living in the
Bay Area and preparing for the expected PO problems.  The next meeting
is December 16, at 212 Miller Ave. SSF 7-9PM.  The SSF group is new and
its meetings are very informal also.

Tom Dickerman ( "Dickerman" <dickermn@earthlink.net> ) is the person
responsible for setting up the Post Carbon meeting in SSF.  

Hope to hear from you.

- Arlen
