The Oil Drum

For your perusal this evening, (because I have the flu from hell so I need something low maintenance yet interesting), I give you a video of someone I think a lot of.

Megan Quinn of The Community Solution discusses her visit to Cuba, and the movie "The Power of Community". This young woman sees Peak Oil as an opportunity to create the communities we want, but notes that we must reduce our consumption despite environmentalists' assurances that biofuels will save us.

[UPDATE by Super G] YouTube video moved below the fold to speed up load times on the front page.

Folks, please make sure to check out (and if you can, attend) the Community Solution Conference, Sept 22-24. Click on the banner for a link to the site and the conference.

And click on the link of the picture of Megan Quinn of Community Solution (one of my favorite people in this whole thing...) below to go to Stuart's Community Solution diaries from last year. and here's a link to Saturday's diary as well.
