ASPO-5 Speakers’ Presentations

[Dogmudgeon]

For Your Pee Coiling Pleasure ...

The 5th ASPO (Association for the Study of Peak Oil) workshop was held in romantic (or is that italic) San Rossore, Italy, on June 18th and 19th, 2006. The presentations are available at this website, and most are in Acrobat (*.pdf) or PowerPoint (*.pps) format.

There’s got to be at least a couple of day’s worth of shits and giggles and high old times to be had reviewing the latest models, warnings, and proposals that we’ll promptly ignore from the ASPO Gang. Crack open a cold one and kick back with the knowledge that given our civilization’s usual inaction, our collective ass will soon be grass.

Here’s a list of the fun that can be had. Just click to the ASPO Italia web page and download the ones you want:

Just a spoonful of sugar
Helps the terrifying knowledge of impending death go down
In the most delightful way
