[Peak Oil Action] Update on Wednesday's peak oil testimony in the Senate

[Vermont Peak Oil Political Action Alerts]

Hi folks,
Just a reminder, the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee 
will be taking testimony on the need for Vermont to respond to peak 
oil this Wednesday, Jan. 16, at 9 am. I'll be testifying, based on 
the work that some of you have helped pull together. Scott Printz is 
providing some charts. If you'd like to come along, it would really 
help to show the senators the grassroots support that this topic has.

The testimony is in Room 8 of the Statehouse, the Senate Natural 
Resources and Energy Committee's room. It's on the first floor, the 
east-ish wing. (The Statehouse faces somewhat west of  south.)

For those who wish to discuss strategy, etc., we're meeting in the 
Statehouse cafeteria at 8:30 am.

Scott Printz is coming up from  Bennington, crossing over at Rutland, 
and is willing to pick up someone along the way. Contact him at 
scottprintz at gmail.com. If anyone else wants to carpool, please let me 
know.

Also, John Kaufmann of the Oregon Dept. of Energy, who helped a lot 
on the Portland Peak Oil Report, may testify via telephone later in 
the morning. He's pencilled in for 11:30 am; I'll let you know when I 
have more information. If that works, it will be worth listening to. 
He has been travelling around the country helping and encouraging 
initiatives like ours.

Ginny Lyons, chair of the committee, advises waiting on the press 
conference until our report is finished. She'll help organize it, and 
bring in other legislators. Let's press on with finishing the report 
as soon as the testimony is finished.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Carl
