Do you want to learn the truth about Peak Oil? I mean really learn the truth and not the arguments and sound bites you hear on the news? Would you like to hear all the statistics yourself? Would you like to learn what investments are going to profit from the coming peak?

 

The non-profit Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO) is holding their annual conference in September in Sacramento California. This is "THE" definitive conference on Peak Oil. There will be dozens of speakers including Matt Simmons, James Kunstler, Steve Andrews, Jeremy Gibert, David Hughes, Dick Lawrence and many others. Each of these speakers will present reams of hard facts without any sugar coating. If you can't stand the facts this conference is not for you. If you are just starting to become aware of the potential for Peak Oil but doubt the harsh consequences tossed about in the press then you should come hear first hand for yourself and make an informed decision about your future.

 

I would like to invite everyone to attend the 2008 Peak Oil Conference with me on Sept 21-23 in Sacramento. Many Option Investor subscribers and myself will be attending and it will definitely be fun and entertaining.

 

A sample of topics discussed include:

 

Investing in the new energy economy.

Tracking the public data, Saudi Arabia and global projects.

Economics of Peak Oil

The oil story in Iran and Iraq

Oil: Once Cheap, Never Easy

Petroleum 101

Alaskan Oil: North Slope, ANWR

Peak Oil overview

Oil & Gas Delivery Bottlenecks

Aging infrastructure

Big oil and resource nationalism

Future of aviation

Asia: 4 billion new consumers

China and energy in the 21st century

Visions of a post-peak future

Fuel substitutes: Reality Check

Coal: Peak flows, prices, carbon regulation

Natural gas and its changing future

Biofuels

Coal to liquids

Carbon sequestration

Fossil fuels and climate change

The future is electric

Future of mobility post peak

 

This is a hands on conference. The nightly receptions let you meet and talk to the speakers one on one and get your questions answered.

 

The conference will convince anyone that peak oil is real and give you a countdown calendar for its arrival. I have dozens of people email me every week asking questions about peak oil. This is where to get your answers. The first day is the story and all aspects of the coming problem will be presented. The second day covers the impact. What role will coal play? What is the future for aviation? How will governments react to the changes? What hardships will ordinary people be forced to endure?

 

I have been to two of these ASPO conferences and it is the only conference I would not miss for the world. This is the definitive answer to all your peak oil questions.

 

All the Option Investor attendees will sit together so we can talk about the presentations during the breaks. I will be holding an evening session just for OI attendees and it will be Q&A and a general discussion about what we heard that day and how to profit from it. I strongly suggest anyone concerned about their future not miss this opportunity.

On the third page of the registration put my name in the "How did you hear" box. That way I can track the registrations and send you emails about meeting times and places.

 

I guarantee you will not be disappointed with what you learn. You will profit from the experience through your investments and avoid many of the coming pitfalls.

 

See you in Sacramento!
