I have set up a starter topic on Christie Todd Whitman's site: It's My Party Too! called Energy Supplies & The Future to get some discussion going similar to what's going on at Chevron's site. I hope to rope The Royal Society into a discussion as well shortly: Discussions Page.

I am hoping to see a balanced discussion get started here on near term peaking gas & oil supplies. Chevron has already courageously kicked off a participatory effort: http://www.willyoujoinus.com Visit some of our WebLinks to get a better idea what this is about: http://www.peakoil.com/gate.html?name=Web_Links John T.

Matt Simmons' new book "Twilight in the Desert," released May 9th, provides the No 1 Energy issue, of which the Bush WH is willfully ignorant. Peak Oil and rapidly deplting natural gas in North America will dominate the political debate for many years to come. Here is Simmons' latest presentation: http://www.simmonsco-intl.com/files/AAP ... ly%201.pdf One possibliity is geothermal residential heating and cooling sponsored at the municipal level. Christie, this is pocketbook issue we dare not ignore. Please get your to advisory memebers on board! Harry, Chester, NJ

EnviroEngineer....Peakoil.com is an excellent website, but perhaps somewhat alarmist. But alarming people needs to be done. We have NO real national energy policy, proposed or in place, despite what the Repulican masters may calim.

GOPer...I do! I read somewhere that the great empires of history failed NOT due to being overthrown, but from eventually collapsing under the weight of their own debt. Our national debt is appraoching 7.8 Trillion Dollars. That equals a stack of brand new dollar bills 607,000 miles high! A distance going to the moon and back and 1/2 way back to the moon again.

Does anyone else agree that the Republicans in Congress should adhere to their Republican principles of fiscal conservatism when dealing with the budget???

I'm just wondering, if the President has called on congress to restrain spending why did they just approve of giving the big oil companies 2.5 million in tax cuts to drill the Gulf of Mexico when collectively their profits are 7 billion a quarter? I have a problem with that.

Nice one EE -

I just hope you've spare flac jackets when you new-found aquaintances turn up here . . . !

[EnviroEngr]

You know....

Considering who you hang around with, I find pause in that tip.

Should I beef up surveillance or just simply add fire power to the forward turrets?

With respect to the movie "Syriana" and its corresponding WebLog system "Participate.net" I decided to go ahead and see what was going on with it.

A gentleman by the name of warnwood has started what looks like a good survey of the land --> http://www.participate.net/node/202

I'll keep an eye on this.

[EnviroEngr]

I am in touch with Micki Krimmel and will work on populating www.participate.net archives with some of the best of the best from Peakoil.com

Since Syriana is the topic of interest, I'll look at some of these threads first, then go back to the fundamentals.

Hi John,

I hope you get a debate going on the Royal Society website. Although it seems to be a somewhat cautious body, it has huge scientific credibility:

The Royal Society was founded in 1660

by scientists including Robert Boyle, John Wilkins and Christopher Wren. Since its early history, the Society has elected scientists, engineers and technologists to its Fellowship.

If someone with FRS (Fellow of the Royal Society) after their name said PO was happening, that would make some waves, I'm sure

I need to step up the efforts to gain a foot-hold with these folks.
