Mistype peakoil.net to peakoil and arrive here. The browser filled the missing part with .com Razz

Actually click on a link on peakoil.net site. At that time , the latest article was "The Oil We Eat" or something like that.

Actually visit Gold-eagle.com -> dieoff.org -> Hubbert site ->Yahoo EnergyResources -> peakoil.net -> oilcrash.com -> peakoil.com -> lifeaftertheoilcrash -> http://www.bytesmiths.com/Van/-> ?????(How to live like FlintStones)

Last time in college days was interested to find out why USA was so strong and rich Twisted Evil

In a 1983 Reader's Digest found an article "Why US must peg to gold?" . Googled it and went to Gold-Eagle.com. Read everything there. The hope to become a US citizen evaporated by their convincing articles something like US wealth is built on a dream (American Dream). Their Canon colour printers is the real wealth producers by printing more and more IOU. Their M3 money supply grow like crazy.

Later , found dieoff.org when tried to find some article about famine in Eithopia back in 2001. Read everything there and finally understand the articles in gold-eagle.com. It is the energy stupid. Not $$

The rest is history. Colorado School of Petroleum -> EnergyResources->
Robert Attack the petrol head -> Campbell site and finally a link to peakoil.com

When I was first researching peak oil, I got a link to peakoil.net, and I found it very informative. I would check that site every day, and one day, I just forgot the extention to use, and I tried peakoil.com. It ended up taking me to this site, and I didn't immediatly notice the difference. The thought that I was thinking was, "hmm, they did a site revamp. Cool, more news". Then I realised I was at the wrong site once I saw that ASPO's logo was nowhere to be found. I decided that this site was more informational, and I have since set peakoil.com as my homepage.

Was reading "commondreams" website and saw, what was for me, the first article about peak oil. In the body of that article was a link to Matt Savinar's website, and after reading extensively there, and elsewhere, I found this Forum via that route.

Regards,

L.

Trying to find out how we got to (this mess) where we are now. Can't rely on the BBC for that.
Have also been looking up renewable energy as I was pondering a career change (mind made up now!). I knew that oil was running out and that we'd end up fighting over the scraps, but was completely oblivious as to how dire the situation is. Shocked

I was looking up resource wars on a blog somwhere and got linked to Wolf at the door.
From there I think I googled peak oil and have read nearly every web site. After reading the "best of" threads here I was impressed at the "signal/noise ratio", as you guys eloquently put it, and check back here more frequently for updates, and to find out what's really going on in the news. Exclamation

Lots of characters here, plently of differing view points, lots to be learned from each other. Very Happy

(Also gg3, I'm looking forward to your discussion on homo noeticus!) Smile

During the run-up last Summer... I decided to look into it more. I think it was a search for 'oil' and 'depletion', but I do know it was NOT a search for 'peak' and 'oil' because those two words together weren't in my vocabulary at the time... now it certainly is, however.

I first heard about PO at a website called Exit Mundi. It's a website that tells about the numerous ways our world could end. There's a lot of them, too. I highly recommend this site to everyone. It explains PO very well, and it's very entertaining.

Clicked in from ASPO (peakoil.net) and ran into Pops. Convinced me to shift from EHS-Net to here.

Was it the right thing to do?

slashdot.org, mentioning google for "peak oil".

First was Matt's site (bought the book, read it, re-read it, rinse, lather, re-re-re*-re-read it)

Then everything was a whirrrrrr. Everything I could possible google for peak oil for months. Finally needed to find a place where like-minded people discuss about the issue, and hence this forum.

Mostly lurking so far.

Rostov
