Commonwealth Club Presents: The Peak - Oil, Water & Climate

Fellows:	Chris Martenson
Location:	SF Commonwealth Club
Dates:	Jan 26, 2010 – Jan 26, 2010

A former employee of the International Energy Agency told the Guardian newspaper recently that figures about worldwide oil supplies are exaggerated. That supported what peak oil adherents such as Martenson have been saying for years. In addition to oil, he discusses how the intertwining effects of the economy and environment will coalesce to shape a future radically different from the past. A scientist and former executive for a Fortune 300 company, Martenson puts together the macro-trends that will shape our finances and our relationships to our natural and social environments in the years to come.
