A local advocacy group which is working towards more sanity in our city's transportation policies.
 

 

Several short, online documentaries on oil, peak oil and our future.
Produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Definitely worth a visit or two.
 

 

The city of Portland Oregon (pop. 3 million)
is already basing policy on the reality of peak oil and natural gas.
Thus, Red Deer doesn't have to entirely reinvent the wheel.
 

 

Probably the most thorough look at peak energy.
Written by a lot of petroleum geologists.
Offers a lot of new material every day.
 

 

A compendium of links to other material on peak energy.
Updated daily.
 

 

Probably the best site to debunk the naysayers with.
Very well researched.
Also very pessimistic.
 

 

A transportation committee report on the implications of peak oil for the city of Burnaby, British Columbia.
A very easy read and it has several very good graphs.
 

 

A report on peak oil and natural gas implications commissioned by the city of Hamilton, Ontario.
A lot of worthwhile stuff in it, but it tends to be a bit techno-optimistic.
Neither this report, nor the Burnaby one are as good as the one from Portland
with regard to the social changes that we can expect from the associated economic slowdown
due to rapidly diminishing supplies of cheap energy.
 

 

Another message board.
Material updated on a regular basis.
 

 

Lots of good material,
though it doesn't seem to be updated nearly as much as the other sites.
 

 

International site dedicated to spreading awareness of peak energy
and increasing local independence in the areas of food production, transportation and housing.
Locally, there are chapters in Red Deer, Lacombe and Ponoka.
 

 

The lighter side of sustainability.
