This year's ASPO-USA World Oil Conference will be held in Boston on October 26th & 27th at Boston University. Visit www.aspo-usa.com for more information. Registration is still open, although the conference fee increases by $25 after October 10th.

For those not familiar, ASPO is the Association for the Study of Peak Oil. Peak oil is understood as the point in time when world oil production reaches its highest output measured in millions of barrels per day. The arrival of peak oil production marks the historical point where the planet's oil resources are understood to be in permanent decline. The length of this depletion phase depends on how quickily oil production declines world wide.

The ASPO-USA World Oil Conference provides access to current information and trends concerning peak oil.
