[Peakoil] Re: Letterboxing may have an impact now

[Keith Thomas]

Adrian, my sheet can be downloaded from the Nature and Society Forum 
website: www.natsoc.org.au.  The reactions have been varied:

Newcomers generally find it a bit too gloom-and-doom . . but a number 
have then asked for more copies to pass on to others.

People familiar with PO claim it too optimistic, with its implicit 
assumption of a peaceful, orderly powerdown.

I was most interested in reaching newcomers to the idea.  The majority 
of Nature and Society Forum members are over 40 and it was them I 
wanted to get thinking.

The people at Powerswitch in the UK (they're the people who produced 
the new PO DVD) asked me for a plain text version as they like it and 
are working now on modifications for UK audiences.
