I think I found you via peakoil.net. My intro to peak oil was via "The Party's Over," and then I started doing online research. I didn't get involved here until after I had read a few other books and done some web combing.

Its my mom's fault (as most of this kind of thing is). Its what happens when someone with the brains of a rocket scientist discovers the internet and has time on her hands. Go MOM Go!

I BT'ed The End Of Suburbia as my intro to Peak Oil. Once that was done google did the rest.

I had BT'ed Roger & Me right before it. EOS was like an answer to "why did that crazy crap happen in Flint?"

If I remember correctly, I think it was from Matt Saavinar's site. Now how in the world I found his site? Dunno... I think I was googling for preparedness information or something like that...

Art Bell show on Peak Oil + High oil prices last summer + Google search "Peak Oil" = found this site.

random comment from a guy at work prompted a search in google which was along the lines of "running out of oil" (had never heard of "peak oil" before!) fondly remember that day as "my life before"

*sob* Razz

I WAS trying to go to peakoil.NET but typed in .COM instead.
Oops.

I discovered PeakOil the concept a month before. Doing research on mineral extraction and depletion for work.

If I remember correctly :

financialsense.com -> dailyreckoning.com -> gold-eagle.com -> dieoff.org -> energyresources -> lifeaftertheoilcrash.net -> peakoil.com

Just before the kid was born, we were up to the eyeballs in debt (renovation loan, car loan, various hire purchase loans, and still paying the remaining instalments from honeymoon trip to Europe).

I thought I ought to learn more about how the whole financial system works. Presently I was surfing the contrarian websites, with new and strange ideas never before heard of (at least for me).

Somebody on gold-eagle linked to dieoff.org and that was my introduction to Jay Hanson.

I went to dieff.org and read nearly everything I could, and found that Tom Robertson was now in charge, who pointed me to energyresources.

The ER group was where some of us first read Matt Savinar's announcement that he had just started a website and could we please come over and visit?

Then I came over here via a link on Matt's LATOC site.

From here, of course, I've gone on and discovered energybulletin.net, peakoil.net, asponews.org, and the various energy-related blogs, and I think that's more than enough sites already for now ... Laughing

In the last few days I was reading a thread on another board I frequent(straightdope) and someone linked here.

One day, thinking about the war in Irak, I remembered all the stuff they used to say in the 70s about limited fossil fuels, and I decided to do a little research on the Internet. I found the Hubbert Peak site, surfed around several peak oil sites, and in the end realised this was the best one to keep in touch with the issue.
