Peak Oil is the point in time when world oil production begins to decline... Forever.  The consequences of this will change the way we live... Forever.

Various studies project that this pivotal event will occur by 2010 but it may have happened already.  Are you all ready? 

The conference is organized around several video presentations on large screen by the foremost analylsts and scholars of this issue along with live presentations by local and guest speakers.  The experts in the videos spoke at a national conference earlier this year and each video will be followed by your discussion, questions, and ideas on how we can address this imminent and inevitable occurance.
