We’re Back…

As many of you know, peakoil.com experienced an outage recently, and was unavailable for 4 days.

As oil & gas prices have surged recently, so has mainstream attention to this growing problem. This has resulted in websites like peakoil.com growing at an exponential rate, as more and more people seek an answer to the question of what’s driving higher oil & gas prices.

This growth quickly outstripped our former host’s ability to handle the growing traffic, and along with a series of technical mistakes by this host, caused peakoil.com to be disabled.

The quick action, technical expertise, and dedication of the sponsors of this site turned this around within 48 hours, and PO.com is back online!

We received a massive and inspiring swell of support from our members & guests over the last 2 days, and we want to thank everyone for their kind comments, and offers of support.

It seems clear from the volume and passion of responses to our absence, that this global community has grown beyond the confines of a simple interesting website, into an important and meaningful resource; a kind of digital “watering hole” which the community not only wants… but demands.

We hear you… and we know you’re not kidding around… & neither are we. We renew our commitment to continue servicing the needs of this “coalition of the informed”; the global Peak Oil village.

The staff at peakoil.com wishes to express it’s thanks to everyone for making this site possible, and communicate our sincere commitment to promoting awareness & education of global hydrocarbon depletion issues.

As is the case for many movements, this site had a rather humble beginning, and is the result of the modest wish of a single man, to create a place where anyone can learn & contribute to the debate. Kudos go out to this site’s creator, Dan C. for conceiving of, and providing this place, which has become so important to many of us.

We continue to believe that this site is most valuable because of it’s only affiliation…that of humanity. There is only one goal or objective here; promoting awareness of depletion issues.

We have no illusion that we can solve our energy problems ourselves, and so are committed to putting this information into the hands of those who can… & that’s you.

For me personally, it’s a rather simple decision. After seeing my own fears for our collective future mirrored in the “digital eyes” of hundreds of people around the world, it’s really no choice at all. I love my son & my family, our community and country; & our world more than I can express in simple words. The best I can manage is this simple gift.
