Over the past month or two, I've gotten approximately 426,088,131 emails and press releases about various conferences and summits and whatnot on the subject of energy and/or peak oil and/or global warming. For instance, I think there's one in New York City soon?
I honestly can't keep track, but I really do want to publicize them, so here's my solution: If you know of a cool conference (or whatnot) happening soon, let me know where and when in comments, and I'll promote it up here. It's called lazy-ass collaborative journalism!

A conference about peak oil in Washington D.C. May 6.
There will be a video on Cuba and most importantly, Joel Salatin, a "beyond organic" poultry and livestock farmer.

Continuing the tradition established last year, the second annual 2006 `Energy Day @ NU' will focus on creating practical knowledge for its attendees about the topic of sustainability and renewable energy. The goal of this year's conference will be to bring together students and professors along with professionals working in the business, nonprofit and public sectors, to discuss these issues with an action-oriented agenda without any emotionally charged perspectives. For instance, a panel will look at how making
companies, products and processes more sustainable in fact cuts costs and is simply doing good business. The conference will aim to educate its attendees about the common sense applications of sustainability and new energy, which everyone from professionals to students starting their careers can take with them and help impact their current and future organizations. Therefore, the 2006 `Energy Day @ NU' will create a forum for ideas and applications, either already in place or possible in the near future.

Presented by:
Lord Ronald Oxburgh, KBE
Member, Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology
"Over the next 50 years we have a massive challenge--an increasingly energy-hungry world, the prospect of steadily increasing prices for oil and gas, and a climate that is being destabilized by greenhouse gas emissions. It is hard to know where we shall be finding our energy in 50 years time, but between now and then we have daunting challenges that are technical, social, and political."
