Simply typed peakoil.com to see what stupid advertising site was going to pop up and... found my favourite forum![smilie=5flowerface.gif]

Was reading "commondreams" website and saw, what was for me, the first article about peak oil. In the body of that article was a link to Matt Savinar's website, and after reading extensively there, and elsewhere, I found this Forum via that route.

Regards,

Trying to find out how we got to (this mess) where we are now. Can't rely on the BBC for that.
Have also been looking up renewable energy as I was pondering a career change (mind made up now!). I knew that oil was running out and that we'd end up fighting over the scraps, but was completely oblivious as to how dire the situation is.

I was looking up resource wars on a blog somwhere and got linked to Wolf at the door.
From there I think I googled peak oil and have read nearly every web site. After reading the "best of" threads here I was impressed at the "signal/noise ratio", as you guys eloquently put it, and check back here more frequently for updates, and to find out what's really going on in the news. :!:

Lots of characters here, plently of differing view points, lots to be learned from each other. :-D

(Also gg3, I'm looking forward to your discussion on homo noeticus!)

craigslist.org in my area has a link in their "for sale" forum that googles "Peak Oil."

from google, I clicked the first link which takes you to http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/, where i clicked the "forum" link and wa-la, here i am.

During the run-up last Summer... I decided to look into it more. I think it was a search for 'oil' and 'depletion', but I do know it was NOT a search for 'peak' and 'oil' because those two words together weren't in my vocabulary at the time... now it certainly is, however.

I first heard about PO at a website called Exit Mundi. It's a website that tells about the numerous ways our world could end. There's a lot of them, too. I highly recommend this site to everyone. It explains PO very well, and it's very entertaining.

Clicked in from ASPO (peakoil.net) and ran into Pops. Convinced me to shift from EHS-Net to here.

Was it the right thing to do?

slashdot.org, mentioning google for "peak oil".

First was Matt's site (bought the book, read it, re-read it, rinse, lather, re-re-re*-re-read it)

Then everything was a whirrrrrr. Everything I could possible google for peak oil for months. Finally needed to find a place where like-minded people discuss about the issue, and hence this forum.

Mostly lurking so far.

regards,
Rostov

Can't remember. Came across it when doing my first research on oil depletion matters, app. a year ago. In the beginning I found it confusing but now read it daily.

LATOC: Matt Savinar's site

by **FireJack** » Thu 17 Mar 2005, 15:51:13

I happend to be glancing through the tononto star and came upon an article talking about the documentary "End of Suburbia." When I got home I looked it up and found LATOC and eventually here. I was quite shocked, I was thinking we had till 2015-2020 till environmental degragation destroyed civilization. PeakOil could be a good thing since it will force people to change for the better even if they don't want too. Of course it could speed up the destruction if people destroy everything to survive.

Was reading a post on rec.autos.driving that referred to the article carried by National Geographic called The End of Cheap Oil. Browsed through their message forum on a lark and found a link to www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net.

Further research led me to www.dieoff.org then here.

This is my main peak oil news and dicussion website since May 04.

So, to the moderators, admistrators, and posters on this board, thanks to all of you for making this site so informative, interesting, and just plain entertaining.

I was researching my other obsession... preterism, when I was introduced to http://www.preterism.info my Michael Fenemore... clicked on his "other sites" link and found http://www.peakoil.info... figured if there as a peakoil.info, it was worth a shot to look for peakoil.com, peakoil.net, peakoil.org, etc!

I was at the public library,looking at the newly arrived shelf of books.I saw the book "the end of the oil age",and was hooked.After I read that,I did some reaserch on-line,and came to Matts sight,got the shit scared out of me,and then found this sight.

Researching abrupt climate change, of all things. No exactly sure how I ended up on Matt's site (probably some "potential global catastrophes"-type blog entry. From there, it's an easy jump to PO.com. My wife says I was just looking for something else to worry about though.

She was right about the worry part.

Following that thought - she has come around to accepting PO, although we do differ on the timeline (she thinks we have 5-10 years before things start to go pear shaped, I'm convinced that by this time next year significantly negative effects will be upon us).

by **alpha480v** » Sat 26 Mar 2005, 19:10:31

I agree with you Sparklab,I think tshtf in 12-18 months.

I was researching investments in the stock market, went to Sprott Asset Management www.sprott.com which had some recommended reading, Beyond Oil, (Deffeyes), and The Party's Over,(Heinberg), also a Finanicial book by Stephen Leeb. Went to Chapter's book store, bought all 3 books and read them one after the other. Next Heinberg's website called www.museletter.com led me to PeakOil.com. Since I discovered it I spend about 1 hour each evening reading PO. I find when I read the morning paper anything to do with oil pops out at me, and at least oil events take on a whole new meaning now.
