Subject: Latest TCLocal article: Outlook for Liquid Fuels, 2010-2020
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2010 15:35:10 -0400
This month's TCLocal article is something special: our first
attempt in two years to forecast the near-term outlook for liquid
fuels. Based on an overview we presented at Back To Democracy in
Trumansburg last month, the online version contains links to a
background discussion on oil extraction and related topics for
those wishing further detail. Given the amount of material
provided this time around, we're counting this article as our
offering for both September and October. You can find it at
People who wish to comment on TCLocal articles or engage their

specifically designed to get feedback on these ideas as they are
developed. Please use the comment form at the bottom of each
article so that we can keep all the input in one place.
