ASPO-USA: The Time for Energy Action is NOW

…In spite of the progress we


Steve Andrews and Randy Udall, the original driving forces of ASPO-USA, have agreed to serve as unpaid Interim Executive Directors, to work with our Energy Action Teams of select staff, board, and advisory board members to move forward with bold new plans to fulfill the ASPO-USA mission.

Building on Houston – Announcing the Bob Kanner Challenge Grant

The results of our Houston conference survey are inspiring: rave reviews call it the biggest and best Peak Oil conference ever held, with more attendees and more presentations- offering more new information and gaining more media attention- than ever before.

It also inspired the greatest single financial opportunity that ASPO-USA has ever had: an exciting Matching Grant Challenge from one of our loyal supporters, Mr. Bob Kanner of PubCo in Cleveland , Ohio. After funding the DVDs of our Boston conference, and contributing $25,000 as Headline Sponsor of the Houston conference, Bob offered to contribute $1.00 (up to $100K) for every $2 dollars we raise to fund a two-year campaign aimed at major foundations to put ASPO-USA on a firm financial footing.

Word-of-mouth at the conference has already produced nearly $100,000, so with an additional $100K and Bob’s 1-for-2 matching offer, we’ll have the $300,000 needed to hire staff and move forward with outreach efforts and grant proposals to foundations.
