DESCRIPTION:Richard Heinberg to Speak on Options for a "Post-Carbon World"   This book 
 is a sequel to Heinberg’s earlier book, “The Party’s Over:  Oil, War, 
 and the Fate of Industrial Societies”, which assesses the coming world 
 oil production peak and depletion, and the economic, political, and social 
 results.      Richard Heinberg is a faculty member at New College of 
 California in Santa Rosa. In “Powerdown”  Heinberg describes the 
 choices society faces with the decline of world oil production.   His 
 thesis in “Powerdown” is that oil production decline will cause a sharp 
 reduction in the complexity of our technical civilization, and there will 
 likely be severe social, economic, and political disruption, even to the 
 point of social collapse. He anticipates that government’s typical 
 reaction will be the "last one standing" option: war and competition for 
 control of the dwindling fossil fuel supplies.  Convinced that this option 
 will be disastrous for the world, Heinberg recommends “powerdown” as 
 the best alternative: voluntary simplicity, population reduction, and 
 lowering of resource consumption.  There will be a follow-up meeting for 
 those interested in discussing local and personal actions to achieve a 
 more-sustainable society Wednesday, March 9, 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the 
 Sacramento Area Peace Action office, 909 Twelfth Street, Sacramento. Call 
 448-7157 for information.   \n
