Peak Moment: The San Francisco Peak Oil Resolution (audio and video)
Janaia Donaldson, Global Public Media
San Francisco is the first American city to formally address the challenges of oil depletion. Dennis Brumm and Allyse Heartwell recount how members of SF Oil Awareness envisioned, wrote and presented to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors a Peak Oil resolution, which was passed unanimously in April 2006. They explore next steps: public hearings and plans to create a task force to assess the city's energy vulnerability. Episode 47.
Janaia Donaldson hosts Peak Moment, a television series emphasizing positive responses to energy decline and climate change through local community action. How can we thrive, build stronger communities, and help one another in the transition from a fossil fuel-based lifestyle?

Will San Francisco be prepared for the results of the task force's work? I wonder if the report will be thorough enough; while California does have local agriculture, my guess is there isn't enough of it within a 30 mile radius to support San Francisco (or the rest of the Bay Area). But perhaps the situation is better than I think.
