Second Annual Peak Oil Mini-Conference
Sunday August 13, 2006
1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Maintaining our way of life depends on cheap oil, but cheap oil is ending.  
Global oil production will peak soon, if it hasn’t already, and then 
decline.   The expected consequences are rising gasoline prices, rising food 
prices and a stagnant economy.  Talk about how to cope with rising energy 
prices with:

·       Jeffrey Brown, independent geologist in the Dallas area, author of 
"What the mainstream media are not telling you about the run-up in oil 
prices" and "Texas and lower 48 oil production as a model for Saudi Arabia 
and the world"
·       Alan S. Drake, a consulting engineer based in New Orleans and author 
of "The electrification of transportation as a response to the peaking of 
world oil production".
·       Karl Pepple, City of Houston, Director of Environmental Programming
·       Fred Yebra, Austin Energy, Director of Demand Side Management
·       For other speakers and workshops: www.HoustonPeakOil.org
