To whom it may concern, if you think this would be useful to post to
your yahoo peak oil group, it would be appreciated:
On June 7 of this year, David Fridley, staff scientist at Lawrence
Berkeley Lab, active in San Francisco Bay Area peak oil groups, gave
a presentation entitled "The Myths of Biofuels" organized by the Post
Carbon Santa Clara Valley group (Santa Clara, California). David (and
I) were two of the people who were involved last year with a Peak Oil
Resolution passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the
first of its kind in a major American city.
The presentation was taped and has been edited to DVD. It is now
available for the cost of materials and shipping spent to produce and
distribute it. The first run of 100 DVDs is complete, and the total
cost of this run of 100 - to produce and mail (1st class postage),
allows us to make the DVD available for $7.50 (US shipping.
Elsewhere, there will be additional postage costs).
Eventually it is planned to have the entire presentation available
online at various locations (this will not be for a few months), but
the quality of information in the slides of the presentation, etc.,
as well as the ability to use the indexing functions that DVDs would
not be as good when it's reduced to flash video at YouTube, etc.
To acquire a copy of this DVD for your personal use or for showing to
any group etc., a form is available at this URL:
http://www.sfbayoil.org/sfoa/myths/acquire.html
Links on the web page above will provide further information on the
content and production of the DVD. Alternatively, you can email me
directly (
dennis@sfbayoil.org) with your name, shipping address, and
for those kind souls who may want more than one copy, the total
number of the movies you need.
You are encouraged to copy the DVD and distribute it as well once you
have it. I plan soon to put up the graphics files we used for the
label and DVD case for use, but haven't done that yet.
Upon receiving the order, unless other arrangements are discussed in
the comments section, you will receive a PayPal invoice that will
allow you to pay online (sometimes spam filters mark these as spam,
so be sure to check there). If PayPal is not an option you're
comfortable with, please note that in your email or in the comments
on the form section of the order form. Personal checks will also be
accepted to cover the costs; I would send you the address for that if
you are so inclined upon receiving information from the form.
