Dear {usertag:name}
This e-newsletter is being sent to members of the Energy Transport and The Head groups.
Wally Wight is one of our Transition The Grove members and a leading authority
in Australia on Peak Oil. This should be a most interesting presentation. Well worth putting in your diaries and coming along to.
ATA Brisbane Branch Meeting 28th February 2013
Peak Oil
When: Thursday 28th February 2013
Time: 7:15pm for 7:30pm start
Where: Albion Peace Centre 102 McDonald Rd Windsor (underneath the Albion Overpass near Blackmore St; UBD 140 Ref. C14)
Map: Click here for a map.
Cost: $3 to help cover venue hire costs
Our first guest speaker for 2013 is Wally Wight. Wally will provide an overview of Peak Oil from the perspective of having grown up in a post-peak oil community. He will also give an update on the current status of oil production trends for the future and the risks associated with our vulnerability to those trends.
From Wallys perspective as an urban and regional planner and transport planner he will then explore some strategies for responding to these risks. We will see that some of those strategies are exactly the same strategies many are already pursuing for a range of other good reasons. This may set us a challenge for a positive way forward.
Wally will bring along charts to show we have already passed the Peak Oil phase and how this World resource is already in decline.
This is a topic that will affect us all in one form or another so this would be the perfect opportunity to ask questions directly to someone who has delved deeply into this subject.
ATA Members are encouraged to bring along guests to our monthly meetings and any suggestions regarding future speaker subjects or ATA direction to our committee meeting.
Light refreshments will be served after the meeting where further debate is generally the order of the day over a cup of tea or coffee and a few nibblies.
Kind regards
John Clark
ATA Brisbane Branch Convenor
