I’m at the Peak Oil Conference in Washington, D.C.

This is my third ASPO conference. By now, I know most of the main players.

From left to right: My friend Gail Tverberg, editor at The Oil Drum; Jeff Rubin, former chief economist of CIBC world markets; me, and Debbie Cook, former Mayor of Huntington Beach, CA and board member of ASPO-USA.

This is Chris Martenson on the left, the author of The Crash Course, and David Murphy, author of Energy Return on Investment, on the right. It was nice to talk story with David about EROI and geothermal.

I am really pleased that State of Hawai‘i’s Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism sent Tim Ming their staff economist. He really gets it.
