The fat lady is warming up

I now believe that the hypothesis of a near or medium-term peak in the world's oil supply is confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt. A shift in emphasis that speaks to reducing our demand for oil and examining alternatives to oil is now required. I will be taking that road in the future, leaving specific concerns about the oil supply behind.

On July 10th, David Hughes, lifetime geologist recently retired from the Geological Survey of Canada, and Steve Andrews with ASPO-USA testified as “expert witnesses” on natural gas prices and production in a hearing before the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. The procedure-heavy, court-like hearing focused on choices about future electric generation during a utility-sponsored resource plan for Colorado. The Commission plays the role of judge and referee. The reason for sharing a bit of our experience here is to offer it up as a possible small part of a tool kit for intervention and participation by others when faced with similar opportunities in other states.
