The words “Peak Oil” aren’t supposed to be in our vocabulary. It’s unAmerican. We’re not supposed to know, or at least verbalize the fact the oil is a finite resource. The “American way” is to smile on in oblivion to the fact, kinda like what many of us grew up with in the world of Wally and Beaver Cleaver, and of course Ozzy and Harriet Nelson (this is the world the current administration is desperately trying to recreate). But its just not true, and fortunately, more rational minds are NOT in denial, and trying to address how we might still survive as human beings without swallowing 19.6 million barrels of oil per day (in the U.S. alone). If you’re still in doubt, witness any truck driver at the gas pump.  On average, it costs about $1500 to fill his/her tank.

This month, an international symposium will be held in Grand Rapids Michigan, called the “International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate CHange: Paths to Sustainability”. http://sustainabilityconference.org/

We hope to bring you highlights from this conference here at techimoto.
