Pat Murphy — Beyond Sustainability: Surviving Peak Oil – 2/4

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:56:58 +0000

http://localfuture.org

How long can this global oil supply level be maintained? When will the decline in oil supply

begin? How will that impact already rising gasoline prices, oil prices, food prices and the

struggling state of the world economy?

To address shrinking fossil fuel supplies, increasing CO2 emissions, and rising global inequity

we need to make immediate and drastic cuts to our energy use. Learn about viable curtailment

strategies for food, housing, and transportation, why most “sustainable” and “green” techniques

are inadequate, and how we can create cooperative low-energy communities to survive.

Pat Murphy is the Executive Director of Community Solutions in Yellow Springs, Ohio, co-writer

and co-producer of the film, “The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” (2006)

and author of the forthcoming book “Plan C: Community Survival Strategies for Peak Oil and

Climate Change.”

The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability

explores the root cause of rising gas prices, global warming, biodiversity loss and other

indicators of global unsustainability.

YES Men & Survivaballs Face Chevron in San Francisco Protest

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:00:10 +0000

The fabulous YESMen along with Global Exchange are up to their activist antics bouncing their famous Halliburton Survivaball Executives down the San Francisco streets to protest against the profit before people and planet position of Chevron around the world.

In 2009, San Ramon, CA based Chevron became the fifth largest corporation in the world. And seven out of the ten largest corporations are oil companies. Despite greenwashing campaigns to describe itself as environmentally focused, Chevron has committed less than 3 per cent of its capital and exploratory budget on alternative energy investments.

Over the last decade, Chevron-affected communities from California, Ecuador, Burma, the Philippines, Nigeria, Iraq and beyond, have increasingly worked in coordination to hold Chevron and the entire oil industry in check.

Chevron has successfully lobbied to keep California from enacting extractive oil taxes.
