Apropos of the discussion of declining oil (which has an impact on businesses dependent on cheap oil such as boating, automobiles, travel, and much of the rest of the American (and world) economy)
There is a presentation on Friday at the Prescott Education Center near Weirs Beach on the Transition Movement, the network of people around the world who are actively planning for "energy descent" or the time when oil becomes so expensive we have to make major shifts in our economy due to lack of easy oil for our addictions. Friday 6 - 8:30pm
Next month LARELLA will be doing a presentation at their monthly meeting on Energy Descent and local planning on a post-cheap oil world. See
