Houston & Boston have local peak sites because the guys who run this site are from... you guessed it.
I support any group talking about peak oil, but I will caution everyone that there are many groups, mostly political groups, who don't actually give a crap about peak oil per se, but are just piggybacking on the name to promote other agendas.
I attended a peak oil conference in Houston recently sponsored by the Green Party of Texas. I learned about local businesses promoting their urban garden products, and home solar power companies products... & practically nothing about peak oil.
The peak speaker I listened to suggested we all watch the Mad Max movies for a heads up about post peak life.
When you own a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
If anyone has a serious interest, we are happy to provide a local peak oil website free of charge.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.
