The Petrocollapse Conference
presented by Jenna Orkin and Jan Lundberg
The first Petrocollapse Conference will be held on October 5, 2005 in New
York City, at the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center.
Speakers include James Howard Kunstler, John Darnell, Ph.D., David
Pimentel, Ph.D., Michael Ruppert, Andrew McKillop, David Room, Catherine
Austin Fitts, Pincas Jawetz, Jenna Orkin, and Jan Lundberg.
Besides covering peak oil and what to expect from "petrocollapse," the
conference will offer panels such as the role of government and what
people can do to improve their ability to cope with an expected crash in
petroleum supply.
Although the public has recently started to hear about peak oil in
mainstream news media, the complete story is still suppressed, and
misundertanding abounds even among students of peak oil. The New York
Petrocollapse conference will, among other things, clarify the role of the
market in determining how severe will be the effect of shortage stemming
from geological depletion.
Upon price jumps and petroleum supply tightness that may trigger upheaval
followed by deprivation, people will be looking for answers and relief. A
restructuring of social relations in a "new" local economics system
appears inevitable, so will we choose to create a sustainable culture?
As oil prices generally rise and crude oil supplies and refined products
strain to keep up with demand, the public remains in the dark about the
vast array of consequences of the looming crisis known as Peak Oil.
Dishonest reporting by OPEC countries and even major oil companies have
contributed to the illusion that there is sufficient time before we 'run
out of oil' to transition to a solution, whether it be coal, nuclear, cold
fusion, hydrogen, renewables or some combination of these energy options.
