DESCRIPTION:“The Low Energy Future of Transportation” with David Fridley, Lawrence 
 Berkeley Labs $5-15 sliding scale \n\nWill our automobile use decline with 
 the end of the cheap energy era? Or will it continue, as many want to 
 believe, with battery vehicles and bio-fueled vehicles?\nTo help Santa 
 Cruzans grapple with that question, Transition Santa Cruz will host David 
 Fridley, an energy analyst with Lawrence Berkeley Labs, on Thursday, June 
 18th from 7-9pm at the First Congregational Church on High St.  $5-15 
 sliding scale.  Mr. Fridley will discuss the feasibility of alternative 
 energy sources to fill the gap created by declining oil and gas production. 
 Fridley recently finished a study for the State of California that showed 
 that “even if we diverted all 2 million acres of California’s 
 pastureland to switchgrass for ethanol production, we could only supplant 
 2% of California gasoline use”.\n\nFridley was a principal author of the 
 City of San Francisco’s Peak Oil Preparedness Report recommending 
 measures to adapt to a future of scarce and high cost energy.  \n\nSmarter 
 transportation and land use policies are ways we can smooth the transition 
 from our dependence on fossil fuels to a resilient low energy 
 future.\n\nCome be a part of the Transition \n\n
