New and improved site in our future

aluscoucciste — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 17:45:22 +0000

A long overdue upgrade of this site is in the works. You’ve no doubt noticed that postings have slowed to a crawl for some time now. We have had serious functional issues, but we are determined to address these. Our aim is to make this site interactive, with sharing capability, and to make it more secure from bots besieging our server with God knows what. We operate the site on basically no budget (note the absence of “Donate” requests and advertising), so things move slower around here. The site itself will not go down, but I will not be posting much new content until after the upgrade. Keep checking back over the next few weeks, and thanks for bearing with us.

Peak oil preparation in New York Times

ambera2 — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 13:28:39 +0000

John Leland’s article on the front page of Sunday’s New York Times is not bad. The article could have avoided referring to Daniel Yergin, who, despite his stature as one of the world’s foremost energy analysts, has downplayed concerns about oil depletion for decades now, choosing to serve as a cheerleader for Big Energy. The article discusses Andre Angelantoni’s Post Peak Living, along with Transition Towns and U.S. Reps. Roscoe Bartlett and Tom Udall’s Peak Oil Caucus. Worth reading.
