Petrocollapse: Last minute promotion
Posted by Yankee on October 3, 2005 - 10:53pm
For those of you in or near New York City, don't forget about the Petrocollapse Conference on Wednesday, Oct 5. Payment is on a sliding scale, so if you can't afford the $100 VIP tickets, no problem. Call in sick and come anyway!
This conference features some speakers that haven't yet appeared everywhere else:
- John Darnell, Ph.D.: Congressman Roscoe Bartlett's environmental/energy coordinator
- James Howard Kunstler: Author of The Long Emergency
- Jan Lundberg: Oil industry analyst, founder of Auto-Free Times and culturechange.org
- Andrew McKillop: Editor of The Final Energy Crisis
- Jenna Orkin: Peak oil "lobbyist", World Trade Center Environmental Organization
- David Pimentel, Ph.D.: Agricultural economist at Cornell University
- David Room: Post Carbon Institute, and Global Public Media website
And, if you're lucky, you might get to meet me and peakguy! But if you can't come, peakguy and I will have a round-up of the events hopefully by the end of the week.
“If kindness and comfort are, as I suspect, the results of an energy surplus, then, as the supply contracts, we could be expected to start fighting once again like cats in a sack.”
—George Monbiot

I'll probably be easy to spot since I think I'm signed up at the registrar's desk for the morning shift. Between Ianqui and I we hope to actually cover the event inbetween our volunteer duties.
Also, check out our events calendar for the NYC area. Please send your ideas on to us.
See! Peak Oil is already affecting productivity.
