Who's afraid of Peak Oil? - A local look at a global scare

I was recently interviewed for the cover story of this weeks Lawrence.com mag. A great article by Frank Tankard. You can read it online here, or in the deadwood edition found in shops and restaurants all around downtown. When you get a chance to check it out, you may find another surprise - a tasty peak-oil sandwich! ; ) ... Cheers - Tim
