Presentation to Sustainable West Seattle – 20 September 2010
Below the fold, you will find the slides and transcript from a presentation that I recently gave to the kind folks that comprise Sustainable West Seattle.
Peak Oil Presentation Delivered to Seattle Council Member Mike O’Brien’s Streets for All Seattle Project
Fellow folders,
It has been too long since my last post. I apologize. I have no valid excuse, other than the fact that my schedule has been incredibly overbooked. Because I’ve been so busy, I feel justified in ‘double dipping’ with this particular post, which is in fact a short Peak Oil presentation that I just delivered to a group of Seattle City Council Members (Mike O’Brien and Tom Rasmussen), self-proclaimed transportation policy wonks, and representatives from some transportation special interest groups (bike advocates, rail advocates, etc.). Both Mike O’Brien – Chair of Seattle’s Carbon Neutral Initiative – and Tom Rasumussen – Chair of the Transportation Committee – spoke briefly before I took the stage.
It is safe to say that outside an ASPO conference (Association for the Study of Peak Oil) one is never preaching to the choir when giving a Peak Oil presentation. That said, I believe that this was one of the most friendly and receptive crowds yet. So, without any further ado, here are my slides and a transcript of my short (10 min) talk.
