Friends & 
Colleagues - 

We urge you to attend the 8th annual 
conference of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil & Gas USA (ASPO-USA) 
to learn from independent experts what 
government and industry won't tell you about U.S. energy 
challenges.

Learn why the ongoing media blitz 
about "100 years of shale production" is industry propaganda 
designed to boost stock prices ... why the U.S. will never be "energy independent" ... why the next oil 
crisis is likely to be just around the corner ... and why crude oil is far too 
precious to burn wastefully.

Learn, too, why these seemingly pessimistic 
scenarios may be just what the doctor ordered for the long-term health of 
our planet.

Best regards,

Jim Baldauf

Co-founder

      The Petroleum Age is entering a new era where oil 
        and gas are becoming more difficult and costly to extract from the 
        Earth, while global demand continues to rise.  

        Find out how 
        this "new reality" will shape your 
      future:

          What are the implications for our 
          economy, national security, and environment?  

          Will new technology keep oil 
          production in line with global demand?

          Will alternative energy sources be 
          developed and deployed in time?

          Will innovation dramatically reduce 
          oil use?

          How will 
          America adapt its economy to run on less 
      oil?

I'm cautiously optimistic that we will have some call to 
  celebrate after tonight, and so I've found a place with good food and a killer 
  beer list for Oilpatch Democrats' last meeting of 2012. 

  Accordingly, come on out on Thursday & meet us at 6:30 at

        DOWN HOUSE
          1801 Yale (about 2 blocks south of 
  20th St)
