 Seminar description:
 There is mounting evidence that worldwide we have reached -- or will soon reach -- the peak point of oil production. A recent report  by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers examining energy security found that "we are at or near a peak in global  oil production."  (View  the report here) Today's Santa Barbara  News-Press looks at how California is more vulnerable than the rest of the  country, with more than half of the state's imported oil coming from  just three countries: Saudi Arabia, Ecuador and  Iraq.
  
 Is our region prepared for drastic increases in energy  costs, or disruptions in supply? How far can renewable energy sources such as  wind, solar, ethanol and biodiesel take us? Please join us for this important invitation-only discussion about the impending global oil shortage  and what it means to the tri-counties.
