| Hello All, I'm obviously new here, but learning much already. Found out about peak oil around spring of '06, now trying to learn as much as possible and get things in order. Thank you everyone for all the wonderful information! |

I know what yu mean. I was pondring the issues of Peak Oil tonight (as I was making Tikka Masala from chicken that was transported 1500 miles to my grocery stoore, in a skillet powered by elecricty, with a knife with a petroleum-based plastic handle, until I cut myself and sopped up the mess with a plastic bandaid and then got back to the kitchen in time to turn the chicken with a plastic spatula). Thaat's what kills me--how many aspect s of life are dependant on oil. (sorry for typos--hard to tuype with bandaid on finger...) The acorns on my live oak are ripening. I was watching the squirrels eating them, and it occurred to me tht, in a couple of years, I may be fighting them for my share. Found myself printing off isntructions for making acorn pancakes. yeough!!!

Welcome Eochaidh
I am also relatively new. There is lots of useful info here. The debates are quite mature and provide an excellent set of simulations reqgrading what may happen and how we deal with it.
Look forward to you contributions

It's a frathouse around here! We usually go over to The Oil
Drum for maturity.
I tried anagrams on "Eochaidh". The best I can tell, you're Chad from Ohio.
"DrBang" must be an Ozzie sex-therapist?
Anway...welcome and...
Because, you see, oil is so bloody important.

Nah, I'm Matt from michigan. The state was close. Eochaidh was the name of several great high kings of ancient ireland.
Thanks for the warm welcome though!

I actually *know* a Dr. Bang...that's his last name. My wife always refers to him as "the porn star."
Lots to discover here...I am learning that myself. |

I had a "Dr. Love" in College who taught intergroup dynamics with a focus on empathy and understanding...
