Meeting Notes:
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Future Salon tonight: Dan,
John, Leonard, Tom, Richard, and Penny.
I think it was a great idea to do peak oil and global climate change
back-to-back in May and June. I for one learned a great deal about
climate change, and of course, the closely related topic of fossil
fuel consumption at tonight's discussion.
