Thanks for making this power point presentation by Matt Simmons available to the residents of Rogers Park, as well as anyone else who wants to look.
It manages to simplify the subject for the non-cogniscenti of Rogers Park, if only you can distract them from their quest for more parking long enough to download it and read it.
Looks like Yergin over at CERA has released another mendacious report that more or less dismisses Peak Oil as bunk, and the New York Times bought it hook, line, and sinker as usual.
We are all in a "consensus trance" regarding our energy and population situation, and our leaders and pundits are too busy supporting each other's delusions to be of any help in illuminating the situation.
Every drop of real information is needed. If you repeat it often enough, it eventually seeps past all the unwilling hearer's defenses and rationalizations and delusions. You and Kunstler and the people at the OIL DRUM are reaching more people all the time, and at some point, maybe when gasoline is at $5 a gallon, the little grains of sand will gather into an avalanche, and there will be a major wave of change in the way we live our lives and order our public policies.
