Renowned Peak Oil Expert Richard Heinberg Is Speaking In Grass Valley
Peak Oil: How It Will Change Your Life. Cheap, abundant oil is now a thing of the past. The world is entering an era of shrinking energy resources and heightened competition for remaining supplies. How can ordinary households, local government and businesses respond to this unprecedented challenge to soften its impact on our lives?
Grass Valley, CA (PRWEB) November 4, 2005
Alliance for a Post-Petroleum Local Economy (APPLE of Nevada County) is sponsoring Richard Heinberg's timely presentation on the repercussions of the rising oil costs, what "Peak Oil" means, and how local communities can prepare. Come Tuesday, November 15, 2005, to The Center for the Arts in Grass Valley. Doors open at 6pm, the presentation begins at 7pm. Admission is $15 and tickets are available at Briarpatch, Bookseller, Yabobo, The Love Shack Records, and in Auburn at Cherry Records, as well as at the door.
Richard Heinberg, widely regarded as America's foremost peak oil educator, will discuss the most recent evidence regarding the timing of the global oil production peak, its likely consequences, and what can be done at both the international and local levels. He is the author of The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies (2003), and Powerdown: Options and Actions for a Postcarbon World (2005).
In the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, communities across America are taking a long, hard look at how to prepare for crises of any kind. Peak Oil presents a very long emergency with far-reaching domino effects, and Heinberg is a world-renowned authority on this topic. The author will be signing books immediately following the presentation.
APPLE of Nevada County is an outgrowth of The Town Hall Conference last spring and will have information tables on how to get involved. The APPLE Workgroups are focused on energy, transportation, food and water, health and preparedness, and outreach/education.
