Peak Oil Retired U of O Geology Professor Walter Youngquist has been tracking the technical details of Peak Oil longer than almost anyone. His book Geodestinies is one of the most comprehensive examinations of the limitations imposed by Earth resources on civilization. A few shorter articles of his are archived at for more information about Peak Oil www.aspo-usa.com www.energybulletin.net www.energycrisis.org www.fromthewilderness.com Peak Oil & 9/11 www.theoildrum.com www.kunstler.com www.museletter.com www.oilempire.us www.oiltruth.com [lifeaftertheoilcrash.com] www.postcarbon.org www.peakoil.net www.permatopia.com www.road-scholar.org There are several groups in Eugene that focus on Peak Oil and Climate change, but they are fragmented. It would be nice to see some mergers to create something more focused on organizing and outreach. Having intermittent events that tell people the basics of Peak Oil to audiences that have already heard this information several times is woefully inadequate for addressing the energy crisis. Maybe these groups could shift their focus to training the "choir" who attend their events to become public speakers and organizers so that larger audiences could be made aware of this information.

climate change OilEmpire.US page on the "Triple Crisis" Euglena Academy www.euglena-edu.net The University of Oregon and the City of Eugene maintain several websites and efforts dedicated to climate change awareness, but they avoid the issues of corporate and governmental pollution and decisions that cause more impact than individual choices. The climate change experts at the U of O have been silent about the University's decisions to spend about a quarter billion dollars on a new basketball arena and they do not discuss the climatic impacts of corporate deforestation in the rural areas surrounding Eugene and Springfield. Any serious effort to mitigate climate change would require focusing on the worst parts of the problem, but that approach would be politically incorrect.
