Purpose
Our experts will provide the most current available information about the evolving peak oil and natural gas challenges. To cover those stories, we’re bringing in widely respected speakers from all over the U.S. and Canada plus Europe, the Middle East and even South America. From world-wide industry analyst PFC Energy to a Brazilian cane-to-ethanol grower, you’ll hear a broad range of perspectives.
ASPO USA has partnered with Boston University researchers to explore the critical role that net-energy analysis should play in our policy decisions going forward. In our present mad dash to develop substitute fuels, are we on the right track? Do we have the right scorecard? Attendees will hear first-hand the early results of that partnership and its critical implication for evaluating our options.
At the same time that we continue to address key gaps in essential information and awareness about the looming peak oil issue, it is time to expand our individual and collective focus towards “intelligent responses” to the challenge. What should the Blueprint for Peak Oil Action be? Given what we know today, what best strategies should we as individuals, organizations and a nation pursue from 2007 forward? Every speaker will be engaged in this discussion; and all conference attendees will be asked for their input as well.
