Dan Bednarz on peak oil and public health

Dan Bednarz, Ph.D., is a former Associate Director, Center for Public Health Practice, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (until 2005) and is now President of Energy & Health Care Consultants.

He is trying to focus the attention of the public health community, and especially schools of public health, on what he sees as the potential catastrophic effects of “peak oil” on public health and the delivery of health care services in a country woefully unprepared to coming crisis.

Dr. Bednarz talked with Etopia Medical News today about his concerns and about efforts he’s making to catalyze the creation of one or more “Energy & Health Centers” for research and practice at the intersection of health care and energy policy.
