Learn about peak oil

Many experienced petroleum geologists expect oil production to peak in the very near future. Since the world economy runs on oil, and since demand for oil increases at roughly 2% per year, the impending failure of production to meet demand is likely to have serious economic—and social and political—consequences, worldwide. Guilford Solar will offer a program on peak oil, entitled “Peak Oil—Theory and Evidence,” on Saturday, December 1, from 10am until noon. This program will be held in the Barn Kitchen Meeting Room of the Guilford County Agricultural Center, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro.

Peter Kauber, who worked for Marathon Oil Company in the late 1970s and early 1980s, will conduct this presentation. A lecture format, with PowerPoint support, will be employed. Excerpts from the film The End of Suburbia will also be featured.
