the public, as part of their weekly Lyceum series.  The opening talk  will be 
given by Jon Bosak of TC Local on Peak Oil.  
 
Public is welcome to attend.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19   3:00 p.m.  
 
Kendal Main Auditorium
 
TITLE: Planning for Peak Oil

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

World  production of oil will reach a peak some time in the next
couple of  decades.  After that point, falling oil production
combined with  increasing demand will cause enormous and
never-ending increases in the cost  of fuel.  Extreme fuel prices
will result in the end of globalization  and a return to local
production of goods and services.  TC Local is a  local citizens'
group that's trying to plan for this future.

ABOUT THE  PRESENTER

Jon Bosak, the chair of TCLocal, is a computer  standards
specialist with many years of experience in organizing  and
managing large-scale research and writing efforts.
