Presentations.
You can see the Powerpoint presentation we taught each other gave during the session above. You’ll find the very good article about the recent Gulf of Mexico ‘discovery’ here. An excellent recent talk by Richard Heinberg is available here as a sound file you can listen to. You might also enjoy a recent interview Rob did with Richard while he was in Totnes , Part One looked at peak oil and Part Two focused more on solutions.
Three good films that are available online are The End of Suburbia, The Real Oil Crisis and Peak Oil.
