Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:: There should be more emphasis on passive solar. I have been reading and playing ball by the light of the sun since my childhood in Amarillo.
I am a little younger than Boone but first met him playing basketball in Amarillo around 1945. Amarillo was windy. The AHS students were nicknamed Sandies, presumedly because of the sandstorms.

What excites you about this campaign?: Conservation offers a chance to delay a possible Malthusian dieoff. Windpower might help but subsidies make it difficult to evaluate EROI. I appreciate this opportunity to continue a hobby dating from the late 50's. I discussed Hubbert with Boone when he spoke at Cal Tech in 1985. I had the late Buz Ivanhoe put him on the free print mailing list for the Hubbert Center Newsletter when it started in 1996.

What do you want to do to help?: Discuss pickensplan on oily sites such as the oil drum, yuku downstream ventures, the Jay Hanson inspired sites at Yahoo groups and at the junk science site http://www.debunkers.org
The Hubbert Center Newsletter, funded by the late L. F. Buz Ivanhoe, was originally sent by mail. It was first copied for the internet by Jay Hanson and eventually evolved to http://hubbert.mines.edu. It is now archived at http://web.archive.org/web/20071030212804/http://hubbert.mines.edu/

As I keep telling people we aren't running out of oil, we've run out of Easy Oil
That's what people are having a hard time with .... take the folks who want all that kerogen buried in the piceance basin shale .
They seem to miss the fact that kerogen doesn't move through shale, unless you heat the rock to 650 degrees.

Good old Lubbock sandstorms...had my first fender bender at 4pm, 2 blocks from home, all the street lights on and I couldn't see the end of the hood in one of Lubbock's signature sandstorms. Definitely don't miss that.

Back at you later.

At 4:58pm on July 29, 2008, Luane Todd said…: I'm a Lubbock girl myself...remember when AHS was our arch-rival. I'm class of 60, you? We both know the potential for wind in that area.
