ASPO Conference in September

plunsfo — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:46:31 -0800

Some of you are aware that ASPO-USA will be holding their annual peak oil conference in Sacramento this year, from September 21st - 23rd. Last year's conference was really quite comprehensive. See last year's list of speakers on the ASPO-USA website.

I have done some preliminary checking on pricing and came up with the following:

Amtrak service: Portland to Sacramento (cheaper, and more energy-efficient than flying)

DEP: Portland 20 Sept. 2:25PM
ARR: Sacramento 21 Sept. 6:15AM
DEP: Sacramento 23 Sept. 11:59PM
ARR: Portland 24 Sept. 3:30PM
Seat only $128.00 RT
Private Compartment for 2 (Ttl fare $307.00/pp RT) [includes meals/shower/bed]

Hyatt Regency – Sacramento (conference venue)

CheckIn: 21 Sept.
CheckOut: 23 Sept
$200 per person for 2 nights

2007 ASPO Conference fee

Early registration = about $300.00pp (2007 conference fee included 2 lunches, 2 breakfasts and 2 receptions)

Total cost

(train + hotel + conference) = ±$800.00pp + incidentals [about $200/day]

All the above costs are, or course, subject to revision, either up or down. If enough people want to go (10 or more) then we could potentially negotiate group rates to obtain discounts.

Let us know your interest in attending. Indicate your interest level in the poll here on our website entitled "ASPO Conference - 2008". This doesn't commit or identify anyone, but it helps provide some visibility into how many might attend and the potential for travel discounts.

Statement of Intent

Yamhill Peak Oil is a coalition of Yamhill County activists, farmers, business owners, and government agencies that strives for the relocalization of the Yamhill area economy, with an eye towards the effect of the peaking of the global oil supply over the next few years. Our efforts will strive to harness our area’s enthusiasm, creativity, and optimism in order to make our economy and community more self-sufficient, with local purchasing, emergency preparedness, and food production the priorities.

We feel that encouraging businesses and institutions to purchase locally produced products makes our region more secure, viable, and livable as the price of fuel for transport and production increases. Enabling our local first responders to be prepared for the emergencies of the 21st century will reduce the negative impacts of water and power service interruptions. And enabling a vibrant local farm economy will give our region resilience against uncertainty in food and fuel disruptions.

We hope that members of the Yamhill county community will join us in our efforts to keep our region prosperous and sustainable, both economically and ecologically, as we head into this era of expensive energy.
