Peak Oil: The Challenge and Opportunity of Petroleum’s Waning Days

Cheap oil is now a thing of the past. As a result, the world is entering a new era of shrinking energy resources and heightened competition for remaining supplies. Heinberg, widely regarded as America’s foremost Peak Oil educator, will discuss the most recent evidence regarding the timing of the global production peak, its likely consequences, and what can be done at both the international and local levels to prepare for the event and mitigate the impacts.
