OR check out TheOilDrum.com for excellent running commentary on issues of the day
I used to try to uncover news stories and you can see what I came up with here, but ASPO-USA and TheOilDrum.com are so good at this that there's no point even trying to imitate what they do anymore. Sometimes I add below some really big news or comments (like oil goes to $100 / barrel) or some news overlooked by many peak oil activists. For documentation and details, see the above sources.
Wednesday, July 15: Join us for a viewing and discussion of "The Crash Course," Chris Martenson's DVD which is available free from his web site. This DVD is over three hours long and we will discuss it in two, three, or more segments, as necessary. Added bonus: come to our meeting and get a free copy of this DVD, avoid the hassle of downloading!
Chris Martenson himself will be in town presenting his seminar on July 18 and 19. But if you don't have the $249 to $350 (depending on when you register) to go for the whole course, you can drop by our discussion, which won't be quite as high-powered but will be free.

Where did all the oil go?
They say we've still got half.
The rest is really hard to get;
Our kids'll get the shaft.
Where did all the oil go?
We blew it on the run.
Algae died and fossilized
So we could have some fun.
Where did all the oil go?
We burned it in the air.
With cars and trucks and SUVs,
We made nice weather rare.
Where did all the oil go?
We built a lot of stuff.
The rest of nature paid the price;
Soon we will have it rough.
Where did all the oil go?
It's all around us now.
We'll eat and breathe and live in it
Until our final bow.
