A whole mess of links

I've been collecting links for the past several weeks and haven't had the chance to post them yet. I will also post the meeting notes from the past couple meetings soon.

There's a very important report on peak oil out from the UK, Securing the UK's Energy Future. The group publishing the report has several prominent multinational businesses as partners. Here's the Treehugger article summarizing it: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/peak-oil-will-hit-united-kingdom-in-five-years.php and he… Continue
