Peak Oil, Sustainable Energy, Sustainable Life 

We are a group of individuals in Denver, Colorado and the surrounding metropolitan area who are concerned about peak oil and sustainable energy.

Needed: a discussion of ecology and economics

 Our next meeting will be Wednesday, January 18, 2012: We will take a look at the new documentary "Growthbusters."  To find out more or see the trailer, go to http://www.growthbusters.org/. The pitch: "Too hot for Sundance! Not polite enough for PBS!  Do we embrace the end of growth and make the best of it, or do we go down fighting?"

PEAK OIL POETRY!

Peak Oil

By Bradley Jarvis

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.
