FEATURING DC PREMIER OF NEW DOCUMENTARY FILM:
"The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil"
The sudden effects of perpetual oil shortage are likely to strike within
the next three years. Are we prepared? Sponsored by Culture Change, the
DC Conference will present the facts behind the hype about Peak Oil,
explore the root factors of our present "oil-addicted" condition,
AND envision the strategies that we need to bypass unhelpful institutional
barriers and achieve post-Peak Oil economic sustainability.
Speakers at the DC Petrocollapse Conference will include the most widely
read peak-oil author, Richard Heinberg. Experts on peak oil, small-scale
agriculture and alternative energy will discuss "petrocollapse," the imminent
failure of the petroleum infrastructure to continue to provide the myriad goods
and services that our consumer economy has grown accustomed to. Multimedia
presentations and multiple films will demonstrate solutions to the audience.

MEDIA ALERT -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DC Culture Change Conference: May 6, 2006
All Souls Church, Unitarian 16th & Harvard, Washington, D.C
A conference on the effects of peak oil and the growing global energy
crisis will take place in Washington, DC on May 6th at the All Souls
Church, Unitarian from 9 A.M. to 7 P.M. Speakers include popular
peak-oil author Richard Heinberg.
Conference organizer and speaker Jan Lundberg is a former oil industry
analyst who ran the market research firm Lundberg Survey. Lundberg,
who quit serving the oil industry so he could put his knowledge to use to
protect the environment, says "M. King Hubbert, who developed the
theory of peak oil, observed that we do not have an energy crisis but
rather a culture crisis. This fits with the theme of the Washington DC
Culture Change Conference that there is no technofix for our energy
dilemma. Society will have to bring about a closer level of community and
rediscover what local economics are about."
The May 6th Petrocollapse Conference will feature Richard Heinberg,
the most-read peak oil author (The Party's Over, and Powerdown).
Films and music will be also offered as part of a varied program to
stimulate discussion and action by attendees. Heinberg and Lundberg
and others will perform music including oil-satire songs. Films will include
premiers of "Our Synthetic Sea" (plastics pollution in oceans) and
"The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil."
Lundberg says the Culture Change Conference asks, "What we can do in
advance of the social upheaval and chaos that may produce a 'national
New Orleans,' to prepare or mitigate? What will the future look like during
and after a transition to non-petroleum living?"
