Richard Heinberg Lecture Peak Oil Pt 2

Richard Heinberg, the Senior Fellow-in-Residence of the Post Carbon Institute is widely regarded as one of the worlds foremost Peak Oil educators.
Heinberg was in Edmonton on Feb. 11th, 2010 as part of the City of Edmonton's 'The Way We Green' Distinguished Speaker Series. The Way We Green is Edmontons environmental strategic plan -- a blueprint for being the nation's leader in setting the highest standards of environmental preservation and sustainability.
Heinberg spoke on the subject of Peak Oil and Economic Transition, asking how much Oil did you use today? Are We Running Out? What does this mean for the things we do, the food we eat, the places we go? Heinberg challenged the audience to think the unthinkable, exposing the tenuousness of our current way of life while offering a vision for a truly sustainable future
The University of Albertas Environmental Research and Studies Centre was host to Richard Heinberg later in the evening at the Myer Horowtiz Theatre for a repeat lecture and continued on societys future relationship with energy.

Me too - he's just a brilliant speaker, knows his subject matter intimately, and doesn't talk down to his audience nor does he overdramatize. I'm also impressed that the City of Edmonton has taken it upon itself to look forward, particularly in an oil province like Alberta. Wish my country (USA) would as well, but alas it seems hopeless. :(

In another lecture, he said that all of the supergiant fields were found in the '30s, '40s, and '50s! Still, this man is one with the gift of prescience.
