First Meeting of ASPO-USA a Success, Next Stop Boston

DENVER, Colorado – Organizers of the recent world oil conference here are now preparing to take their planned annual event on the road to help spread the word across America about the coming peak and irreversible decline in world oil production.

Next stop on the tour is Boston, where organizers aim to keep the peak oil awareness movement on the march as peaking looms ever closer — or indeed, may be already here.
This month’s two-day Denver World Oil Conference brought together more than 400 people from the oil industry, local governments, academia and community organizations who were told that peaking is nigh, that the consequences could be dire and that governments, individuals, and organizations must prepare now.

It was the first conference of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil – USA, an offshoot of the European-based ASPO, which was formed four years ago by retired petroleum geologist Colin Campbell of Ireland. Fourteen other national ASPOs have since been formed in Europe.
