The First US Conference on Peak Oil and Community Solutions was held November 12-14, 2004 in Yellow Springs, OH. Among the speakers was Richard Heinberg, author of The Party's Over: Oil, War, and the Fate of Industrial Societies, who gave the closing address. Highlight: There will be sustainable human cultures on this planet a century from now. In fact, that’s the only kind of cultures there will be. And I think we can reasonably hope that at least some of those cultures will be able to trace their lineage to the seemingly marginalized hippies, activists, energy geeks, permaculturists, communitarians, organic farmers, eco-city planners, and plain citizens who started educating their neighbors about peak oil early in the century. More on "peak oil" here, here, and here.
