Join The Peak Oil Pioneers In Sacramento
In less than three weeks, Sacramento plays host to the world’s largest conference on one of the most important societal issues of our time - Peak Oil. In late September, the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas - USA (ASPO-USA) is convening its 2008 Peak Oil Conference at the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento, California. The conference title - The Peak Oil Energy Challenge - The Future Starts Now! - says it all; it’s time for us to take control of our energy future and start dealing with our oil and energy predicaments.
I imagine ASPO-USA chose Sacramento since California is leading the nation in laws for renewable energy and combating global warming, thereby providing a model for other states. Perhaps if Peak Oil mitigation can get some traction in the California, it can also speed up action on the federal level which tends to be slower than molasses.
The conference features top international energy experts including as Dennis Hayes (the Father of Earth Day), Jim Kunstler (featured in the End of Suburbia), Randy Udall (Co-founder of ASPO-USA); Matt Simmons (Founder of Simmons & Company, Intl.); Jim Puplava (Financial Sense News Hour); Tom Whipple (Editor of Peak Oil Review and Peak Oil News); Kjell Aleklett (President, ASPO-International); Nate Hagens of The Oil Drum, and many others.

Note that the Sunday Sessions are on track to sell out, so you may want to make plans to attend sooner than later.
In the run up to the conference, ASPO-USA is also launching a new program called Peak Oil Pioneers which honors people have been early supporters of the Peak Oil movement.
Whether you are an oil baron or baroness, environmentalist or public official, small-business owner or Fortune 500 executive, your inclusion on this list speaks volumes about you and your commitment to our work. As a Peak Oil Pioneer, you represent the ASPO-USA members, donors, and sponsors who stand on the crest of Hubbert’s Curve. You dare to look beyond the status quo. But where there is honest inquiry, research, education, cooperation, and intelligent response, there is well-founded hope. When you get involved to make our collective work possible, you make hope possible. The co-founders, board, advisory board and staff of ASPO-USA are grateful for your courageous foresight and your generous support. If you’re already a Member, Donor, Sponsor or Supporter, please accept our sincere gratitude for helping to make our work possible. And then, if possible, dig deeper and give again, in another category, or as a conference sponsor, and be recognized even further on our Peak Oil Pioneers website.
I plan to go on Tuesday which focuses on “Now Where? Choices For The Long Haul” and will report back for those of you who are not able to attend.
