Hi to all.
I am an enviromental engineer and geologist quite involved in the study of
the oil peak (or peak oil).
I am making a small test of mine for an international meeting to be held in
pisa, tuscany, italy into three weeks.
So, i am asking to all the folks in this newsgroup if somebody has heard
about the oil-peak or peak-oil and if yes what he/she thinks about it, when
( if never) will happen and how it could affect his/her way of life.

My point of view (to give a perspective:):
I am, as a member of ASPO Italy ( Association for the study of peak oil),
quite convinced about the reality of the problem and the fact that it will
happen in few years if it is not already happening ( as someone is convinced
of).
I really 'd like to know what is the average consciousness of the subject.

Thanks in advance for an answer, whatever could be your idea on the subject
and sorry for my english.

Dr. Geol.Ing. Pietro Cambi,
ASPOItalia
Fiesole, Florence, Italy
